My view on SSD
When I first been told that, SSD is fast for performance. I am so tempted to get one without thinking what really are those hardware are made from. To be precise, how many of us really care if it does provide 10x of the performance.
But in long term, that would be a risk too, SSD it is not so solid as it is. Why?. This is because the disk only supported with the number of write per day and it will reach its limit. Not like the conventional disk which are relying on the disk spindle. SSD will just stop working working without any notice.
From the point of security, it is always good to have SSD, as it provide a good performance as well the data that are stored in the disk might not be able to recover. Which I think this is pretty good.
The bad side of the SSD is, the disk can fail without warning. Just imagine that if you are running a tera of data inside the SSD and it fail. You might lost all the data, which I see also part of the security issue because it is impacting the availability.
There is some colleagues of mine that are asking should we change all the SSD and keeping away the traditional disk. Just to be aware that, SSD it is not design to have a proper protection when there is a power failure. I don't have an answer for the question, but however what I think is, we used SSD is to have more IOPS. We could mix the disk to achieved the same performance and reliability.
This is not something new, but if you do have doubt. Do sent me your comment too.
Just to share some updates, I will be starting to blogs more on security areas on storage on the coming month. I am still pending to choose the right SSD for my lab:).

Introduction
To all of the readers, first of all I would like to apologize for not updating my blogs for few months. Now I am back with more exciting information:).
Not so sure how many of you have install and started to use windows 8. If you start to use the latest version, you might see a lot of changes in term of the UI as well as some of the software that come with it.
2013, guess what? The world haven't end yet.It is the end of the myth of maya calendar in 2012 and it is a start for a new excitement journey in the cutting edge technology.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wife; my parent & sister, my colleagues especially Brandon Liew who always bugging me; my mentor Noel Teng who always share all sort of awesome idea and support given during the MVP's engagement process.
I appreciate all the encouragement to me in the last past years, and last but not the least, I would like to thank all the users of www.wongchonkit.com who have always been behind me and supporting all my work. Sharing have been part of my passion, I be looking forward to share more research on the areas of storage in the year of 2013. Without you guys, I won't be here today.
You guys rock!

Introduction
Not sure everyone have the similar problem that I have on the storage spaces. Would like some of the findings on it. As you know in my few blogs, I did share some of the steps of creation, adding and also deletion. One of the findings that I see is, each time when I reboot my lab, the disk health will become unknown. I try to figure out where there is any option in the server manager, but I run out of luck.
