Installation on SSD / frequency of writes ?

Zitat von "daflow"

1) is it true that installing on an SSD is not recommended?

Don't know how you got this idea.

2) OMV does log a lot. So there is always a read/write on your disk.
3) There is an article in git for write minimalisation - https://gist.github.com/ngnpope/3806732 - But I have NOT tested it by myself! But you do not need it on a SSD / HDD like aaron and tekk already said.

My 64gb Crucial SSD will be 3 years old in about 3 months. It's been running OMV for around 2 yrs. and 3 months now.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I think this sort of falls in the same category.

Are there any noticable differences between HDD and SSD as system disk, besides boot time of course? I'm asking because my Web-Gui is somewhat sluggish, the plugin and update page takes ages to load, same for refreshing the page.

An ssd would speed it up a little but web gui/plugin page use a lot of cpu. What cpu are you using?

AMD 64 X2 5400+. Is it realy that CPU hungry ?

Zitat von "ryecoaaron"

Yes because it simulates the installation of each plugin. The more plugins, the slower. Your cpu is fast enough. If you are using an old, slow hard drive, you might see a noticeable improvement using an ssd.

Hmmm...I guess I'll be investing in a small SSD sometime in the future. Thanks for the explanation btw.

My system drive is an 7200RPM Seagate Barracuda 120GB, it is old though, nicked three off those from an old server ;D. As for how long we are talking, I haven't exactly measured it but it's somewhere around 15sec to login 30sec for plugin/updated page and around 2-5sec when switching between pages, give or take. One thing that takes forever and I try to avoid is the ACL box on my root share.

oh... and I'm using Chrome, but it's the same for Firefox and no difference on tablet or phone.

Sodden, that is a pretty old cpu you are using. It's a 65 nanometer. Pretty old and not nearly as energy efficient as the newer ones.

Kannst du mir den Leserkommentar bitte mal als scan oder foto zukommen lassen? daflow?

Danke.

Gruss

Yeah, I salvaged a lot of my OMV hardware from old Rigs. I was planning on updating my hardware sometime, but I haven't yet decieded what path I will take, server or desktop. AMD Opteron would be cool but is expensive. AMD desktop CPU's/APU's however are cheap but often lack features a "home server" or dedicated server system might use. Intel is out of the question, too expensive to put in the basement and forget . In the end it all comes down to money and how much someone is willing to spend.

Where is a haswell celeron or pentium to expensive for the basement?

Switching to Intel would mean a new mainboard, since you'll always want to plan ahead you take a board with a socket that will see a few generations of CPU's. New board at this point would also include DDR3, at this point we're already talking 200-300 bucks. So if I can save 20-30 bucks on a cheaper AMD CPU+Board (the socket policy is way better in my opinion) I'll want to do that (yes I'm a cheap person :D).
But I think we're drifting off topic here.

Maybe offtopic for this thread but this is fine. We still talk about your NAS so we can stay here...

So, Intel Pentium G3220, 2x 3.00GHz - 50 €
Cheap 1150 Socket Mainboard - <50 €
2x2GB DDR3 RAM - 35 €

total - 135 € which is about 185dollars

So where are we talking about 200-300 bucks? I mean its just a suggestion. And not that expensive, but powerfull one.
