Re: [Observium] SSD for better performance
I would recommend dumping the data to a real disk occasionally, as observium/rrd-style workloads are pretty hard on flash-based storage.
I have SSDs in my workstations, but I'm not sure if I'd trust them in a server quite yet.
Please report back if/when it breaks :-)

Hi,
Data is dumped to spindle nightly for backups.
As with everything, the question isn't "if" it fails, it's "when". I'll report back when it does.

Hi,
We are running a little over 10 months on RAID1 SSD, with hourly backups to spindles as well. Works like a charm. (~16GB of RRD's) Performance uptake is massive.
We know it will fail eventually, but have deployed countermeasures, there's 2 disks next to the server , awaiting replacement.
