Are SSD7000 RAID controllers designed to work 24/7 for many years?
Yes - HighPoint SSD7000 series RAID controllers are designed to operate 24/7. HighPoint NVMe RAID controllers and HBA’s are quite robust and have MTBF ratings comparable to our SAS/SATA RAID controllers and HBA’s product families.
The longevity of an NVMe configuration is largely dependent on the TBW (terabyte written) status of each NVMe SSD. For example, in the case of Samsung 970/980 PRO’s, SSD’s with the largest current capacity (2TB) are rated at 1200TBW. Once the SSD reaches that limit, further writes sessions are likely to fail, and the SSD should be replaced.
You can track the TBW of SSD’s hosted by HighPoint NVMe RAID controllers using the WebGUI management software. Click the SHI tab (Storage Health Inspector) to view the TBW status in real-time.
