Software Raid Testing?

Of course only for the system/applications/games. I have 2TB hard drives for storage.

MLC vs SLC
Yes, there are "cheap" SSD disks nowadays, but they use MLC chips, that are slower and have a short life (short number or writes before fail). In 2 or 3 years you could have problems with a SSD MLC disk. SLC have a much longer life (large number or writes before fail) and are a lot quicker, but they are much more costly per Gb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_cell

Originally posted by bnolsen View PostYes agreed entirely. I haven't found any reason yet to go SSD, I prefer the extra storage and don't like the extra cost. That and linux is much friendlier on disk access than windows is.

And my SSDs not even "fast" any more, there's disks out there that do small random writes at a quarter gig a second.
Just remember to learn how to align your partitions and choose your fstab options correctly (link), as all that stuff doesn't work automatically yet and it makes a huge difference in performance.

skewed charts
the FS that do not support fsync on some benches should be removed from the final chart as they do nothing except skew the charts and mar the chart scale.
AFAIK, ubuntu 11.10 can not boot from a btrfs partition without having the /boot on a ext2/3/4 partition.
Also, for future BTRFS articles, can you give a small tutorial on how to set up a btrfs compressed partition during install? i am a linux noob and cant find any good tutorial for this.Last edited by mayankleoboy1; 16 March 2012, 02:54 AM.
