With SSD storage, what what your thoughts on redundant storage devices (e.g RAID1), is it a waste, a nice to have or a must?

what are your experiences and thoughts on this ?

Appreciate your opinion, as I will probably move from HDD to SSD.

    Had a Kingston SATA SSD that I had used for my plex server data (not media), and it ended up dying on me. First drive I had actively fail on me and cause data loss.

    It was redundant after that.

      That’s interesting because Kingston’s usually have a reputation that proceeds them. I currently have some cheap Chinese knock-off SSD that I’ve put through hell and it keeps plugging away.
