3You understand if a single device in RAID 0 fail, then the entire RAID fails, right? Why are you worried about the lifespan of SSD designed to last 5+ years with continous usage?– RamhoundCommented May 16, 2016 at 16:04

Raid 0 is Not Reliable as suggested by Ramhound– MoabCommented May 16, 2016 at 16:47

The 'main lifetime limiting factor of an SSD' is not write cycles, but obsolescence. You will find it 'too small and slow' before it runs out of write cycles, as there will be larger and faster models on the market– AganjuCommented May 16, 2016 at 19:52

I really encourage you to read Are SSD drives as reliable as mechanical drives (2013)? over on Server Fault, which is our sister site for professional network and system administrators. When you are done reading that, you might also want to look over What is the current state (2016) of SSDs in RAID? for some further insights. Executive summary: Write cycles are not a problem with modern SSDs, if you get one spec'd for your use case (or better). Electronics, however, can and do fail every once in a while.– userCommented May 20, 2016 at 16:58

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
