Linux
See http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/04/four-tweaks-for-using-linux-with-solid-state-drives/
put /tmp in RAM:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
/boot, /home, /swap on Velociraptor /dev/sdd
/ on RevoDrive /dev/md0 (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb)
I don't know that this is optimal but it's what I used
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb mke2fs -b 409 -E stride 16 /dev/md0
put noatime option in /etc/fstab
disable the elevator scheduler, put these in /etc/rc.local
echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler echo noop > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler
manage write caching via /etc/hdparm.conf
# SSD RevoDrive
/dev/sda {
write_cache = off
}
/dev/sdb {
write_cache = off
}
# Raptor drive
/dev/sdc {
write_cache = on
}
# Caviar drive
/dev/sdd {
write_cache = on
}
Test results
On Raven
The new Black drive is faster than the Velociraptor. The SSD is FAST and the Green is slow. No surprises there. Tested with hdparm -t command.
# RevoDrive Timing buffered disk reads: 1028 MB in 3.01 seconds = 341.87 MB/sec
