[Advice needed] Using an SSD for OMV boot drive

  • and is very quiet.


    The drive is very quiet. I can't even hear it w/ the cover off the NAS..


    I'm confused by this. Of course a SSD is going to be quiet. Silent in fact, as there are no moving parts. Why would a PCB with a few chips soldered to it make noise? ?(

    About to move to OMV 3.0, running Sonarr, Emby, NZBGet on a Pentium G4520 on an AsRock B150M Pro4S and 16GB DDR4 in a Lian-Li PC-M25A case.
    Sub 10W idle power draw, thanks to SuperFlower 350W 80Plus Gold PSU.

    It was really more a comparison to a platter drive (as that is what I've always used before). I fully expected it to be silent, so that wasn't particularly a surprise, just an observation.

  • Hello guys,


    From my understanding, the flash-memory plugin is use to prolong the SSD life.
    Is this the same thing as the SSD trim or no?

    Nope :) The flashmemory plugin moves a lot of the writes (log/rrdcache/etc) to ram prolonging life.
