Why I am staying AWAY from SSDs!	by jaqie	2009-03-31 01:22:40
In order to get some real data on durability	by ripley8	2009-03-31 12:15:39
we (the non-profit ISP where I'm a member) are conducting an experiment with a SSD disk drive where we put it into a Usenet news server as a spool disk. The news system (INN) is throwing the articles into ring buffers filling them up linearily and once a buffer is full the next one will be assigned and once all are filled then the system starts all over. So basically all the disk is written to constantly from one end to the other. Since the filesystem is filled up with the buffers there is not much space to wiggle around with reassigning unused data blocks either. So we consider this a fairly good method for testing the durability.
