Re: [Emc-users] hal taking machine down

If you want the ultimate in low writes, install your OS as a 'live' CD image. There are plenty of instructions on doing this with a thumb drive and they apply equally well to an SSD. You can have a separate partition for your data. I ran my network server like that for quite a while. Some distr

Re: [Emc-users] hal taking machine down

I use an 8 GB SSD as a boot device in my ISDN monitor, an old, slowed down Pentium PC. The "disc" has been created once, and now it only gets written on when a telephone call occurs, maybe a couple of times a day. So I think, I have a "reliable" storage without moving parts, fans etc. at low p

Hi Mark, The SSD on the server is just handling emails and sending out licenses purchased through my web site. I used an SSD to save power as the server runs 24/7. The OS sits on a CF card. Bulk storage is a 1.5TB mechanical drive that is spun down when not in use. In it's current incarnation
