Should I enable "Patrol Read" on SSD drives?
LSI, Intel and Dell RAID controllers (perhaps others) have a "Patrol Read"
feature to try to spot when a drive is failing before it completely fails.
LSI seems to disable patrol read on SSD by default but allows you to turn
it on if desired via MegaCLi's SupportSSDPatrolRead option.
Is there any reason why I should NOT turn on patrol read for SSD? Will it
cause premature failures? Or is it pointless for SSD?
I am suspicious because of default disable. But I cannot find
documentation anywhere that states why or why not.
