[App_rpt-users] Solid State Drive

[Doug Bade]

I use a SSD 2.5 " Hard drive ( ~ 65gb???)  on my Dstar repeater computer (
Atom 330 1U server)with another derivative of RHEL ( Scientific Linux )
running in daemon modes and it's up time is at the +130 days mark... even
with sw updates I never reboot it and the SSD has been flawless.. I bought
it from Microcenter for ~100.00 and it was not really well commented on
google searches so I was skeptical.. but it has been flawless.. I am
suspecting under Win7 etc... SSD' may be more problematical.. than OS's like
Linux which become static and pretty stable on disk/cpu ram usage...

No slam on Win 7, but squirrely things happen on my Win 7 box's for no
particular reason when I run stuff that maybe is better suited under
servers( and in this case there are Linux options) ... I am suspecting a lot
of users who have issues with SSD's are disk intensive operations... not
server class stuff cruising in ram for the most part....with minor I/O to
disk for Logs etc...

I have a similar computer running ALLSTAR with 3 nodes and a 3.5 green drive
that has uptimes of 6 months or so at present... that I will probably change
out to a SSD soon just because it seems like the first one at the site is
happy... and I do like to get rid of moving parts.. Atom mother boards are
in many cases totally fanless...and quite powerful enough for ALLStar and
DStar.....
 
My 2 cents....

The only problem with CF cards Is that they are not set up for the
read/write cycles. They are typically slower and they will fail much sooner
than an SSD.

I use an IDE to CF adaptor, with a 4GB CF card. I tried a 2GB, but that was
not large enough for the  build, lots of errors. I have been running this my
box for the local club for over a year without any problems. Less moving
parts also. This method is cheaper than the SSD drives on the market, about
$30 is what I spent.
