Hi all,

I've got a new server with 2 mdraid RAID 1 arrays - one on spinning
disks, the other on SSDs. The spinners are set by default to use ERC;
the SSDs are not, but appear to support it.

Should I enable it on the SSDs? Or are they not prone to failure in such
a way that it would be useful?

Thanks,
Richard

Which SSDs?  Usually one lets the SSDs try as hard as they can to
recover, but they're also *MUCH* faster than HDDs at it...

Enabling SCT Error Recovery Control seems to be conventional and 
recommended for RAID, regardless of drive type (HDD or SSD) [1].  I have 
it enabled on the HDD's in my md array.

That looks like a high-end consumer SSD [2].  I don't see anything 
obvious in the specifications summary that would preclude enabling SCT 
Error Recovery Control.
