Greetings; New stuff report.
I just installed one of the SP 60GB drives in the G0704's Dell computer. I have everything copied across, theoretically I should be able to remove the 2 TB thats been in it for around 2 years as I am needing a bigger drive for amanda, whose 1TB drive is at about 87%. DF says 18% so 60GB should do ok for a while. Speed comparison with hdparm -tT: 2TB rotating drive, supposedly sata-III capable dev/sda6: Timing cached reads: 2456 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1228.06 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 292 MB in 3.01 seconds = 96.95 MB/sec 60GB SSD; dev/sdb3: Timing cached reads: 2484 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1242.54 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 642 MB in 3.00 seconds = 213.65 MB/sec While its rated sata-III, or 6GB/sec, that old Dell Optiplex 745 mobo obviously isn't. But its still pleasantly faster. Not too shabby for a $33 drive. :) I think I'll put the 2nd one on the rock64 as its lone sata socket is a sata-III capable socket. But maybe its time to round up a an expander and get acquainted with how they work. Moving the 2TB drive in here for amanda, will give me room to add the machine I use to program mesa cards, and the rock64 to its nightly backup schedule. These are Silicon Power SSD drives, never heard of them before. Anybody else here have any experience with their stuff?
