But, for paranoia's sake, I would RAID1 the SSD with a second SSD.
Quote from http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Ad... :
Red Hat also warns that software RAID levels 1, 4, 5, and 6 are not recommended for use on SSDs. During the initialization stage of these RAID levels, some RAID management utilities (such as mdadm) write to all of the blocks on the storage device to ensure that checksums operate properly. This will cause the performance of the SSD to degrade quickly.
