I'm currently running four SU800-256 (Firmware R0427ANR) in RAID10 and keeping an additional SU800-256 (Firmware R0427AC) as a "hot" spare. Four of the portable SSDs we tested for this guide, in front of a purple. CrystalDiskInfo is able to report SMART data for the individual drives even when they're in the RAID array, so diagnosing a failed drive is easy. These SU800s are TLC, so we're sacrificing reliability for cost.
