Subject: Multiple SSDs - RAID-1, -10, or stacked? TRIM?
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 12:31:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131009123135.GT1779@bitfolk.com> (raw)
Hello,
Due to increasing load of random read IOPS I am considering using 8
SSDs and md in my next server, instead of 8 SATA HDDs with
battery-backed hardware RAID. I am thinking of using Crucial m500s.
Are there any gotchas to be aware of? I haven't much experience with
SSDs.
If these were normal HDDs then (aside from small partitions for
/boot) I'd just RAID-10 for the main bulk of the storage. Is there
any reason not to do that with SSDs currently?
I think I read somewhere that offline TRIM is only supported by md
for RAID-1, is that correct? If so, should I be finding a way to use
four pairs of RAID-1s, or does it not matter?
Any insights appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy
