Hi, Is anyone using SSD drives on freeBSD server systems? I'm attracted by the performance increases i've seen on both my desktops and laptops (quite amazing and easy upgrade if you've not tried).. I see from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM#Operating_system_and_SSD_support that full TRIM support only comes in 8.2, I'd be interested to here peoples opinions on best uses for SSD, general purpose applications such as databases , webservers etc will benefit obviously, but i'm also curious as to disk intensive applications such as mailq's, spamassassin etc? (I presume here the lack of TRIM may degrade performance rapidly?) thanks Paul. -- ------------------------- Paul Macdonald IFDNRG Ltd Web and video hosting ------------------------- t: 0131 5548070 m: 07534206249 e: paul@ifdnrg.com w: http://www.ifdnrg.com ------------------------- IFDNRG 40 Maritime Street Edinburgh EH6 6SA -------------------------
