Thread: Folding with an SSD.
Started 2 months, 1 week ago by batmeat
I finally got my SSD Raid 0 rig going. The question is...when running F@H has anyone checked to see how often data is written to the hard drive? I ask 'cause lots of reads/writes to an SSD are a big no no. It wears the drive out. Other then that, I love SSD. I'm still tweaking it, but my reads are averaging 325Mb's a sec.

I do a lot of video work so I bought 60gb drive to offload mundane work to to decrease the amounts to writes to the ssd's. I have the Corsair P128's and currently TRIM isn't supported by the samsung controller, albeit a new firmware is supposedly on the ...
