- detaro 11y agoThe only thing such a system should write in bigger amounts are logfiles, unless you keep very detailed logs/packet captures you shouldn't get close to the write limitations of a modern SSD, which is tens of GB per day. (You might want to change the fsync-behaviour though to limit write amplification, e.g. syslog syncs the logfile to disk after every log line, which might become a problem if you have very active logs?)
- ericcumbee 11y agoI'm not sure of the exact details. I've only done a couple untangle boxes (using NexGen appliances). 6-8 months ago colleagues that do a lot more of them were still seeing a much higher failure rate across all SSDs than with spinning disks in Untangle boxes. Although I see now that NexGen offers a SSD Option on their boxes now. so things might have improved.
