This is a weird question I realize that, but hey.
So, I have an SSD in my server. It's a datacenter SSD, I guess (and hope) it will not have any issue for the next few years - as I barely put any load or writes on it. But you know how it is, it's electronics. They tend to break here and there.
Having to buy and install a new similar sized SSD would be quite costly, so I was thinking. What if I put in a bigger HDD, and put the SSD + HDD in MIRROR mode, in Server 2016 Disk Management? I know that Windows is not playing nicely with RAID per se, like if one drive fails, booting is a chore, but that doesn't matter. I could just use remote KVM, re-install the new SSD, and just dd
back the data using Linux and voila' I have everything.
The question: What are the drawbacks of such a setup?
Can Windows somehow delay the sync of the drives, so the SSD remains fast? Or it will become as slow as the HDD? What happens?
