We've just taken delivery of a pair of R710s with PERC 6i controller and eight disks including two 50Gb SSDs.
Initially I was going to use hardware RAID 1 across the two SSDs to give one device rather than software RAID, but the thought has just occurred to me that if I do so, and present the drive to Debian as is, it will be presented as a RAID controller, and not as a pair of SSDs. As a result, will the trim commands be passed through to the SSDs? The PERC6i manual doesn't seem to be any help from my initial glossover and details on trim are sketchy at best. Any advice would be much appreciated, Regards, Andrew -- Systems Developer e: andrew.nic...@luns.net.uk im: a.nic...@jabber.lancs.ac.uk t: +44 (0)1524 5 10147 Lancaster University Network Services is a limited company registered in England and Wales.
