Re: SSD Analyzer Tool

I'm pretty sure they're SLC, but IBM charges an MMC for SSDs while they
don't for platter-based drives. Makes me think they're figuring that
failures/replacements will be more often.

Jack,

I used this a few times to analyze the performance. It is a red

light, yellow light, green light recommendation based upon reading your
performance files. With the green saying it may improve performance. I
have put SSDs in at dozens of accounts, and they have been fantastic. I
would recommend being on 7.1, as I think the OS is better at handling SSDs
(or spreading the data onto them).

What kind of SSDs are they? SLC or MLC? Any information on how long
they last? Because the MLCs are notoriously short-lived. A lot of that
depends on the data use algorithms.
