     Here are my server specs:

     RAID1 - 2x480GB Samsung SSD with power loss protection (will be used to

     RAID1 - 2x240GB Crucial SSD with power loss protection. (will be used to
     store PostgreSQL transactions logs)

Can you tell the exact model numbers for the Samsung and Crucial SSD's? It typically matters! E.g I have some Crucial M550 that have capacitors and (originally) claimed to be power off safe, but with testing have been shown to be not really power off safe at all. I'd be dubious about Samsungs too.

The Intel Datacenter range (S3700 and similar) are known to have power off safety that does work.
