I am here to ask questions about SSD's. Currently I have two boxes and they have the spinny's in them (HGST) and I have used spinny,s since the FreeNAS days and works great. But since the advent of SSD's and now they have large capacity ones I was wondering if SSD's are a way to go.
My boxes do not do much. They are just used for storage for home use and only one computer accesses a box. Another will get files and add them to the pool and then the family will access a file or two afterwards so I would say the box runs 24/7 and only gets new files once a week or two; maybe three. Activity wise not much.
That is how it is used. But as mentioned I see SSD's in large capacity that can match what I have for my pool. I saw a feature for TRIM on version 13 U4 so it appears that some day SSD's will be storage pools? What are peoples take on this right now? I did not find a lot about using SSD's for main storage pools, however I did read to use them for slog, larc, etc., but not really for storage pools
Just wanted to see what are peoples thoughts on this and with my setup and usage are they ok to use? I understand how SSD's work in a Windows environment, but in TrueNAS with scrubbing and smart checks I wonder if those are things that are not needed (or still needed) in an SSD storage pool environment. I read the Auto TRIM should not be used; rather run it manually.
Anyways, just wondering how SSD's will do now and in the future with storage.
Thank you
