    The Intel chipsets only have 2x SATA3 ports (which I don't really understand, tbh). So the consumer motherboards use additional controllers (from the likes of ASMedia, Marvell, etc) to provide the...

    A proper snapshot should be taken when the server is offline. A snapshot taken when it is running is like "pulling out the power cord" and could potentially result in corruption.

    Nice testing.

    But if you care about SSD performance wouldn't it be better to look at random accesses (rather then sequential) and more thorough read-world simulations?

    Look into fio. See...

    Huh?

    Yes, of course it will :) (the other parameters are for ip6tables and arptables, quite clearly. If you don't need to filter them on your bridge then you need not enable them)

    Is netfilter disabled for your bridge?



    # sysctl -n net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables


    If it is then traffic will bypass your iptables rules.

    What would I buy? Either. Honestly I don't think the technology would bother me, assuming both had the same supporting infrastructure and control panel features.

    There is nothing wrong. Did you look at the specifications for the drive? Sequential write speed up to 45MB/s.

    Edit: The other person (dmtinc) probably has a different model of SSD/server.. like...

    ZFS is not a clustered file system. It doesn't scale to multiple nodes. (But it can be used as the base to build a clustered file system). This product seems much more like Red Hat's Gluster which...

    The problem is your test is not actually representative of good VPS I/O performance in situations that matter. It's largely been popularised on these very forums since it's such a quick and fast way...

    Probably Sandforce based on the performance specifications. (See sequential write speeds at small capacities).

    On a related note OCZ Vertex 4 was just release with some very impressive performance...

    I think many companies will do this now if you talk to them, that is if they don't specialize in wholesale colo and offer managed services.. you probably just need to ask. I suppose, to cite two...

    No, Crucial use Marvell controllers. You do realise the parent company of Crucial is Micron right? Micron just happens to be one of the worlds largest producers of memory products and have a NAND...

    India (and Sri Lanka) are essentially on the other side of the world to the US, it's not comparable to say Tokyo or Hong Kong. This makes routes via Europe and into NYC competitive if not better than...

    DIY:
    Build a Core i3 machine with 8-16GB RAM and put in your 4x 2TB disks. You can use software RAID, don't forget about backups anyway! Use either:
    - FreeNAS 8
    - OpenFiler

    Done. Total cost is...

    Dell use them too. Mind you, they are eMLC drives so compare with the Intel 710 and NOT the 320/520.

    Just FYI, the Intel 710 advertises "sustained" performance specifications as opposed to "fresh drive, best case" performance as with most consumer drives. I.e. why you see such a big discrepancy...

    We've run (and running) CentOS 6 since launch with 82574L NICs with no issues *touch wood* (apparently on 1.2.20-k2). Have not used PXE boot, however.

    1) Remove your last name. Don't take it personally but it's too long to roll off the tongue (or page). "Hi I'm Jamal." Done. As a very positive side-effect it would bring the word...
