Anyone experience with Database located on SSD (Solid State Disk)?
Hi,

I'm very curious about firebird performance on a solid state disk.
It seems that it has quite good database benchmarks.


Does anyone have experience with a database on a SSD-disk of SSD-raid-configuration?

Thanks in advance!

Do you mean a read only database or not?
I'm saying this because I think that a write intensive application like a database might kill an SSD which has a finite number of writes.

Tnx! I read on intel website that the 32GB X25-E has a write endurance of 1 petabyte.
This will be 1 * 1000 * 1000 gigabytes. (?)
I run fbserver.exe and it has in Windows taskmanager written 66GB of I/O write bytes last 24 hours (read ca. 234GB).

When I divide those numbers, my harddrive will last for about 15000 days? That sounds reasonable for me, or did I've made a mistake?

Thanks in advance!

Whehe, good news travels fast
I'm still wondering why there's so little information to be found in the firebird-community about SSD.
I'm planning to create a testconfiguration soon
