Re: SSDs

It’s all about the workload.


If you were thrashing a spinning disc-- I. e. running many disc-intensive processes that all want different data-- a SSD will probably do better.


If you’re using a disc in a way that uses it efficiently-- I. e. streaming continuous data on and off it, a SSD adds little value.


And if you abuse it-- I. e. using it to hold heavily written swap space-- you’re gonna wreck it fast.

This guy seems to know what he's talking about.  Just one question though.

Who did he learn English from?  George Carlin?

I have also found that in deference to their claims some of the SSDs are SLOWER than regular enterprise drives.   
I believe this new technology leaves a lot to be desired.

I have a question about SSDs.  I've read that they like the USB thumb drives can be written to a certain number of times before they fail.  What is the expected lifetime of an SSD?  They're terribly expensive if they're only going to last 2 or 3 years.
