[App_rpt-users] PATA SSD drives

[Keith Goobie]

Doug

I would be extremely leery about the use of Crucial SSD¹s.  While they have
been a strong product line in the past, their quality control of late has
translated into products that do not work.  Most recently they have been
accused of flooding the market with product that they know to be defective.
Buyer beware!

We got lured lured in by their defective product, and spent many wasted
hours, doing problem analysis and OS rebuilds.  When we dug in further
through research on the net, and confirmed what is printed above, we
abandoned Crucial and quickly moved to another product.

At our remote site we are using OCZ (x2) and SANDISK.  Both have been great
performers.

We are running Centos on all SSD¹s. (DNS/Web/Mail, DSTAR and Allstar).
