Good morning all,
I was wondering if consumer SSDs are ready for virtualisation? I.e. I
currently have 4 500G disks in a RAID 0 to get the maximum performance of
the otherwise rather slow disks. SSDs offer vastly improved performance,
esp. in writing (the one I looked at apparently writes 175M/s in an
unspecified workload)
Now the question is: are these consumer SSDs ready for typical
virtualisation workloads? This won't be production, but a 2 node RAC
cluster generates a bit more IO than Word or Excel...
Anyone mind sharing experience? Oh, I'd use OpenSuSE 11.4 or 12.1 as the
dom0 for xen.
Best regards,
Martin
