Hello all
I'm trying to settle a debate with a other redditor.
Assume both of these scenarios are basic setups without drive pools or raid.
The redditor suggests and recommends that using a single SSD with a partition for the OS and Data drive is more safe than using dual drives.
I believe using a partitioned SSD will both double your chances of drive failure due to writes and reads, and it will make it a pain in the ass to restore the backup.
I suggested using two separate SSDs, and the redditor said that this indeed doubles the chances of drive failure due to two drives. I disagreed and said that it halves it due to the decreased reads and writes. I also suggested that dual drives will make it easier to restore a backup drive if one fails.
Which scenario is better?
In both scenerios there are backups, like a mirrored drive using Acronis disk imager or something like that. But it's still not a drive pool or RAID
