You'd only lose data here if the SSD died and the machine crashed *at
the same time*, right? Doesn't seem like a big deal to me -- if the
events are even a minute or two apart, you'd be fine (right?). By
contrast, if I understand correctly, you can get data corruption in
RAID5 if you lose a disk and then the machine crashes *any* time
before a new disk is resynced.
