Re: [CentOS] Are SSD disks worth the cost for server usage?

I concur that I would not use them on anything important.

Hi,

• A: one is with 80 GB SSD (and 12 GB memory)

• B: the other with 750 GB SATA2 (and 8 GB memory).

The Intel SSD are fast but have a history of firmware problems. So I wouldn't suggest using them on a mission critical data. Personally I think asking for more RAM on the SATA server would do more for performance especially since you are going to be running several VM.

Just my noobish 2 cents' worth. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
