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!

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.
