Re: [App_rpt-users] Solid State Drive
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.

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. -----Original Message----- From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Ed Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2011 12:33 PM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Solid State Drive I use an IDE to CF adaptor, with a 4GB CF card.

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....

Not writing to drive very much, plus the failure rate is still higher than a HDD. I built that system before the SSD prices dropped below $100. Ed Sent from my iPad On Dec 7, 2011, at 9:58 AM, "Scott Weis" <kb2ear@kb2ear.net> wrote:
