    Tech SATA vs SAS vs SSD hard drives.

    Im getting some superb results on some SAS drives on my server.

    How do you guys find the performance of SAS HDs versus SATA HDs?

    Wouldn't SSD be a lot faster than even SAS?

      Yes it would but the price would be different i love my SaS(15k rpm) on my server as well!

          Don't even bother with SATA's or anything else. SSD drives are more expensive but really worth the price. I swapped the old HD in my iMac27 and it cold-boots to a full desktop in 6 seconds. Not from sleep - I mean a true, cold boot. Crazy fast.

              SSD is the way to go unless you need a ton of space 1tb+

                  If you are not using an SSD for your operating system at this point you are missing out big time.

                          Depends on what is needed.
                          A db server should cache most in ram anyway, and an applionserver have more use of CPU

                          What is the mainroll of the server?

                              SSD is the way to go... at least for OS and mysql... you could store other files on HDDs...

                                  Are any of you guys running your SQL and OS on SSD for your server then?

                                  Will is serve your web pages fast? Is it actually showing that?

                                      Speaking of laptops......

                                      Can any of you recommend the fastest 500 GB SSD hard drive for a laptop?

                                          Samsung Evo 840/850 - don't question, just buy

                                          install the samsung magician software, enable the speedup stuff and you will be wondering how you ever did without one.

                                              as for server

                                              SSD = good for mostly reads and ultimate speed. These drives can still handle a lot of writes, but why push your luck if your doing lots of logging and constant writing. We got a raid 0 with 4 drives going so fast that our network is the only bottleneck haha

                                              Sas = good for all around with lots of writing due to its longevity

                                                  It is simple, huge space needed don't go ssd because of the price, write read speed needed, then ssd is the king. of course you will need a fast network connection too or that will slow the whole process down and some good ram and cpu is also a must.

                                                          Well im about to put one in my laptop - I'm trying to add the Samsung 850 Evo 500gb.

                                                          However, mine is a 64bit windows and 64bit processor.

                                                          Is that all you need for SATA III compatibility?
