[Freeswitch-users] Anyone want my SSD tips on the FS Wiki?

Thu Jul 12 20:29:05 MSD 2012

Just as a side note for those that have not heard: Once you go SSD on your work machine, you can never go back. My Windows 7 laptop boots faster than my Android phone.

Ok been working on it all day yesterday and should be done by Monday, will post a new subject when done.

MC - I did not put the SSD into my FS Mac mini, it was another Linux machine. I spent months learning beforehand because I was thinking about it then I got a free Intel 320 160G. I just thought some of the FS folks might like to see what I did and learned. I replaced a WDC Velociraptor and this is WAAYY FASTER!

Depends on what brand the drive is. We are using a lot of SSDs in a
huge enterprise environment and never faced issues. On average each
SSD is giving us around 2000 IOPS with a combine output of around
32000 IOPS and we will be upgrading to 32 soon. Currently have 16.

For smaller scale, I am using one in my Macbook, and never had any
issues. Reaches upto 5000 IOPS and data transfer rate of around 200+
MBps. Have been using a quite a few in the servers running for FS.
They work very well and never deceived. Surely, the thread is a good
one, if the OP posts the draft :)

Thanks.

Turns out, just installing an SSD and using it as an HDD without doing anything else is not a good idea. Although the topic is not specific to FreeSwitch I am wondering how many out there would like me to put together a FS wiki page fr tuning an SSD. It's a lot of work so I won't do it unless there are enough requests or the developers want it.
