Solid State + Cacti

Post by Physon »

Is anyone using solid state yet for large number of data sources? Thinking about getting some for our installation (40k+ data sources), but worried about lifespan and performance degradation with the large amount of writes to all the RRDs.

SSD is ultra-fine for SLC based SSD storage only. Avoid MLC (Multi-Layer-Cell). The SLC (Single Layer Cell), lifespan is approx 51 years with high use. Better than normal disks.

MLC would disappoint you and be a bad investment.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
