Nice to see things back up and running. I run an 8 disk Raid 0 SSD Array as well. Certainly safer than spinning drives and knock on wood no failures yet. But backups are a must.
Thanks for your hard work getting it back and running so quickly.
Cheers!

Doesn't raid 0 provide no recovery if 1 of the ssd's fails? At least you can salvage some data from a HDD.
Yes that is correct. But I do work in video production, and I work with a lot of 4k, 5k and 6k lossless media. The 8 disk SSD array allows me to read/write 5.7GB/s (gigabytes).
So my setup for working: ( 8 ) 960 Crucial M500 SSDs - and these mirror to a Raid 5 Array overnight (7200rpm Enterprise Drives).
Dogie is correct, you can't rely on this setup for safely storing important data. But my project files are kept on a smaller drive which is safe raided (Raid 1 SSD) and only the raw media and transcodes (of which I have LTOs and HDD copies of) are stored on this raid while the project is being worked on.
The system is also on a dual 10Gbe NIC card - so I can push or pull media files from our server raid at roughly 2 GB per second.
This may sound extreme; but many of my projects can run 3,4,5+ TB in size. So if I need to load up or load off a large project, this setup makes an enormous difference.
