Hallo Orion, Mittwoch, 15. Juli 2009, meintest Du: OP> I'm thinking about building a moderately fast network storage server OP> using a striped array of SSD disks. I'm not sure how much such a device OP> would benefit from being dual processor and whether the latest Nehalem OP> chips would be better than the older in the tooth (and less expensive) OP> AMD Opteron offerings. I'm almost certainly going to be limited at the OP> moment by using GigE, but would like to move to Infiniband in future. OP> Thoughts? Can you give a bit more Info? Network Storage Server = NFS? Why SSDs? What speed do you want to reach? In general: RAM does help, CPU power is normally not necessary. Jan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
