With the prices of SSDs coming down, and the recent article about their long term longevity, I'm considering adding a SSD for VM's in my ESXi box, but am not sure if I should go with a single 512GB SSD, or 2 x 256GB. My thinking is since it will be multiple VMs actually running off the SSD, it would be better to have 2 separate SSD, just in case one suddenly dies it won't be a total system failure, and a easy replacement (cost) over a single large SSD. I'm also still worried about writes and life span for a SSD with multple OS's reading/writing to the drive constantly, even with that recent article. Thoughts?
