For most applications you wont notice
- rektide 13y agoIf you're building a server and spending money to put a SSD in front of hard drives because you want throughput, it behooves you to consider throughput/$. Maybe you'll notice, maybe you wont. There's a place for good enough, and any front-SSD cache will be a huge advance for sure over not. But I second the notion that you probably want to find a SSD that is performant, and low capacity ones often are heavily compromised in this department.
- justincormack 13y agoGenerally the software will bottleneck before the drive. Its pretty hard to get rated performance out of an SSD. You need to keep the queue at pretty much full depth, which means aio or (much harder) threading. Most real world software at present gets nothing like SSD potential performance in real world situations, as it is mostly build for HDD where none of this stuff mattered.
