computer ? solid state hard drives
computer ? solid state hard drives
in the interest of building a server that doesn't require
much of my time (so I can go riding more)
Has anyone setup a light data cruncher with SSD's ?

As far as I know, solid state devices have limited writing
capabilities, I mean, you have a limited ammount of times that you can
write a particular sector before it goes bad.
* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash memory
what's wrong with SCSI and SATA?
I've heard about a laptop computer that has this kind of "disk"...

Close, but not yet, according to what I see on slashdot.

We've been using them for a couple of years as windows boot drive for
high altitude use. No trouble so far. Having said that I'm not
answering the phone the rest of the day. Tiago brings up the limited
number of writes issue but they also have onboard facilities that
'lock out' and move writes to worn out sectors. Some but not all
SSD's support SMART capabilities that allow for 'health' monitoring to
give advance warning about immenent failures. Large capacity SSD's
are pricey.

Re: computer ? solid state hard drives
limited writes? I thought they'd go 10 + years no worries, and by then
something better would be out.
searching....... 300k-500k instead of the claimed 1.5m hmm
re thinking the idea.. maybe SSD for the OS & separate one for
the database then do hot backups to normal hard drives...

If a standard drive goes bad there are quite a few people equipped to
get the data back... are there people that can do that with solid
state and are those people accessible?

Good question. See if Ontrack will do it. If they won't, that's
a huge mark against them for today.

Go fast and aim for where the trees aren't.

RAID5
Drives are cheap.
