The SSD Guard Feature The SSD Guard™ feature is unique to Nytro MegaRAID, which increases the reliability of SSDs by automatically copying data from a drive with potential to fail to a designated hot spare or newly inserted drive. Because SSDs are more reliable than the HDDs, the nonredundant RAID 0 configurations are much more common today. The SSD Guard feature adds data protection for RAID 0 configurations. The SSD Guard feature looks for a predictive failure while monitoring the SDD Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) error log. If errors indicate that a SSD failure is imminent, the Nytro MegaRAID software starts a rebuild to preserve the data on the SSD and sends appropriate warning event notifications.
