14 [13:01] <laidback_01> my question will be about space - is it easy to add space to the server? I've already got two drives on it, and I wanted to know if there would be some kind of a limit I needed to worry about - and is there a space where I'm not using premium SSD, just regular ol spinners?
15 [13:01] <laidback_01> if you don't break it out by SSD/regular HD, that's fine, I was just curious.
2019-10-04,Fri
28 [08:48] <up_the_irons2> the failed disk is in the SATA pool, so the SSD pool _shouldn't_ have been affected
2019-05-18,Sat
13 [22:15] <acf_> so it's just another SSD to me
14 [22:16] <acf_> I've always put sata SSDs in my older thinkpads, and it feels the same
2019-05-17,Fri
17 [11:10] <brycec> From my research thus far, they provide very low seek rates and higher throughput than conventional rust, thus offering a relatively affordable middleground between disks and SSDs
21 [11:16] <brycec> (I haven't abandoned the idea of all-flash, which is not too out of reach price-wise. But I still have concerns about SSD longevity.)
26 [15:09] <brycec> By splitting it into two pools, like ARP has done, I can spent money and resources better, only where they're needed -- I'm not wasting SSDs capacity on lesser VMs, which leaves the relatively smaller SSD capacity and IO for the more important tasks. And the stuff on the spinning rust should still feel plenty snappy.
40 [16:07] <brycec> Based on back-of-the-napkin math/estimates (formulae provided by various Ceph persons), this pool should see around 1 million IOPS for the SSD-backed storage, and about 5000 IOPS for the HDD pool.
70 [16:14] <BryceBot> IOPS :: Input/output operations per second (IOPS, pronounced eye-ops) is an input/output performance measurement used to characterize computer storage devices like hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and storage area networks (SAN). Like benchmarks, IOPS numbers published by storage device manufacturers do not directly relate to real-world application performance. Background To meaningfully describe the performance...
105 [21:11] <m0unds> yeah, i have a 540 or some-odd boot SSD on my workstation and a pair of 1TB ones for games and such
117 [21:13] <up_the_irons> got a 6th gen, WQHD screen, 256GB SSD, 8650U CPU and 16GB of RAM for a bit over $1100
2019-05-15,Wed
58 [21:36] <brycec> <3 SSD (in general)
146 [22:23] <brycec> I wish I could afford 5 nodes with 7 $1200 SSDs each :/
147 [22:24] <brycec> (Their all-flash cluster uses 7 Intel 4TB SSDs)
172 [22:31] <mercutio> Intel Optane SSDs have roughly 10X lower latency and 5-8X better throughput at low queue depths compared to the fastest PCIe NVMe NAND-based SSDs.
196 [23:56] <mercutio> yeah some SSDs aren't so good with TBW compared to others. it's mostly significant for journals..
2019-05-14,Tue
17 [12:34] <brycec> In any case, I'm about to start budgeting SSDs instead
27 [12:36] <brycec> Already accounted for that, dedicated SSD for that, dedicated SSD for OS
36 [12:40] <brycec> Yeah I intend to do a bit of benchmarking there - RAID1 the 2 SSDs vs OS/journal split.
2019-04-15,Mon
6 [09:27] <mhoran> Or use SSDs!
7 [10:07] <brycec> lol that wasn't really an option for me in 2008 or so. Also, hot-swapping all the machine's drives to SSDs doesn't seem prudent or necessarily feasible.
2018-05-29,Tue
31 [10:11] <brycec> For comparison, results from my busy VPS' SSD-backed Ceph pool: Read 827.95Mb Written 551.97Mb Total transferred 1.3476Gb (2.2975Mb/sec) 147.04 Requests/sec executed
2018-04-25,Wed
72 [12:57] <JC_Denton> i'm in a blade and one of the custom SSDs i originally sent is starting to die
90 [16:11] <mercutio> so the SSD is reading but not writing or such/
100 [17:18] <JC_Denton> SSDs weren't big enough / cheap enough at the time
105 [17:36] <mjp2> send 2x large SSD now and rebuild the server with raid 1 :) restore from backups
2018-03-02,Fri
28 [14:52] <brycec> JC_Denton: You get two block devices: one's backed by SSDs, the other by spinny disks.
2017-11-03,Fri
18 [17:26] <pjs> I thought it said it's all configured on SSD + Ceph
2017-10-11,Wed
37 [23:16] <KILLALLHUMANS01> btw this was the SSD-backed pool specifically
2017-05-12,Fri
39 [10:39] <jpalmer> oh, are you doing mixed SSD and spinning in the same pool? doing any kind of tiered caching?
70 [10:49] <jpalmer> right now, I keep my SSD's in 1 pool, and spinning in another for most of my ceph clusters, and just choose the storage medium based on the expected needs. easy enough to migrate them (online or offline) as needed.
2017-05-05,Fri
27 [16:50] <caseyandgina> I don't really understand the difference between arp VPS and arp thunder...I expected the thunder server, which has 4x the RAM, SSD, and Sandy Bridge over Nehalem, to be faster for the same operations. But it's the opposite.
2017-03-08,Wed
22 [14:24] <brycec> up_the_irons: Is there any significant difference between Thunder and VPSs running on the Ceph storage cluster, besides Thunder's increased RAM/CPU and SSD storage? Are they otherwise "just virtual machines" with better specs?
34 [15:58] <brycec> up_the_irons: Are the SSD and HDD storage presented as separate block devices?
37 [15:58] <BryceBot> <brycec> up_the_irons: Are the SSD and "SATA" storage presented as separate block devices?
47 [16:01] <brycec> Also the flexibility of having SSD _and_ SATA space (for those of us on the blades that only take 2 drives, period)
71 [16:08] <up_the_irons> think if you need the SSD disk then, b/c (while it's not listed yet), i was thinking of allowing people to "opt out" of either the SSD disk or the SATA disk and get a discount. i mean, why pay if you're not gonna use it.
74 [16:09] <brycec> up_the_irons: I will be quite happy to have /some/ SSD (for ZFS L2ARC/cache), but I appreciate the consideration and I recommend extending it to thers.
77 [16:10] <brycec> Now if I could downgrade the SSD to a lesser amount of storage for a "credit" towards SATA... but I think it's just getting "complicated" at that point and I don't want to make things too complicated for your side
83 [16:12] <brycec> mercutio: And I would stick the OS on the SSD, sure. But I don't need 200GB of SSD for OS+L2ARC :p
91 [16:14] <brycec> I'm tentatively thinking I'd put my running VM images (yes, I'll be running Proxmox) on the SSD and backups on the SATA. And this is where figuring out where exactly I'm using space comes into play.
93 [16:14] <up_the_irons> We'd be happy to trade SSD for SATA "credit". I mean, why not be flexible now that we can. that's part of the excitement of all this new tech :)
100 [16:20] <up_the_irons> The SSD side are the HP Proliant 25-bay units
2017-03-03,Fri
165 [16:56] <HAS_A_BANANA> I dunno, I compiled a Linux kernel (defconfig) on an SSD with -j12 in 19 seconds...
2017-01-04,Wed
43 [08:56] <brycec> days, a 7200RPM SATA-II disk compared to an SSD (SATA-II) won't see any significant difference, basically no difference unless you're measuring for it.

2016-08-27,Sat
59 [21:55] <mnathani> you and your SSDs lol
2016-08-01,Mon
1 [01:05] <up_the_irons> mnathani: hybrid SSD. ZFS on host with SSDs for ZIL (at least I believe that is correct; mercutio knows more)
2016-07-30,Sat
5 [10:41] <mnathani> are the ARP Networks German VPS SSD based?
2016-07-29,Fri
55 [19:56] <mnathani> mercutio: I wouldnt trust my data on an SSD with such high capacity, unless it was backed by a RAID 10 or something similar
56 [19:57] <mercutio> mnathani: i wouldn't want to spend $10,000 USD on a SSD myself...
62 [21:59] <brycec> At that capacity and price, SSDs like that are usually destined for Big Data and Big Compute where you need more storage than you can feasibly have as RAM, that data is initially stored somewhere more traditionally reliable, spooled to SSD, then crunched.
2016-05-23,Mon
16 [18:53] <BryceBot> TWITTER: Now offering you 256GB SSDs for FREE (to replace 1TB HDD) in all new ARP Metal™ dedicated servers https://www.arpnetworks.com/dedicated (Tue May 24 01:52:20 +0000 2016)
18 [19:09] <mnathani> is does say "SSDs" implying plural
2016-05-05,Thu
84 [23:29] <up_the_irons> replacing 6 HDs with SSDs in this box...
2016-04-21,Thu
161 [20:47] <mnathani> can't have an SSD fail and bring down the VM
2016-04-15,Fri
79 [22:11] <mnathani> any any SSD caching or otherwise going into the new German Server?
83 [22:13] <mercutio> mnathani: it'd be crazy not to have SSD at least for ZIL with ZFS
2016-04-14,Thu
95 [02:07] <brycec> Oh and without question, SSD at least for a cache and logging vdev.
98 [02:08] <brycec> (Not that I have an SSD in my Metal box, but I wish I did :p it makes a huge IO boost)
106 [02:10] <brycec> Most recently I setup a box with a pair of 1TB drives in zfs-mirro. Performance was abysmal once the RAM buffers filled up. Slap in a cheap SSD and the thing soars now.
115 [02:12] <brycec> The machine in question (with the SSD) only has 8GB RAM actually
2016-03-23,Wed
35 [02:51] <plett> This customer is on dedicated metal rather than a virtual machine on our vmware mainly because they value the performance of local SSDs over the HA of our normal offering
38 [02:52] <plett> The latency of accessing SSDs in a SAN was upsetting their database performance
45 [02:57] <plett> But that requires slightly more competent web devs than this customer is using - hence throwing 96G, 14 cores and local SSDs at the solution instead!
2016-03-15,Tue
52 [17:15] <brycec> up_the_irons: Given that 1TB SSDs are coming down down in price, and 128GB SSDs seem positively ancient by comparison, any plans for ARP to update the SSD-upgrade option for dedicated servers? Do you still have stock you need to burn through first? (Just curious - and I know ARP offers "custom" SSD upgrades too)
53 [17:16] * brycec is just sitting here with a $200 960GB SSD dd'ing data back and forth for the heck of it, and it got me thinking.

2015-08-26,Wed
49 [05:52] <RandalSchwartz> $5/mo for 20G of SSD running FBSD 10.1, spins up in 55 seconds. No CDROM access, so I can't put down ZFS on root though. :(
2015-08-01,Sat
56 [22:55] <brycec> It's not a fair, even comparison since they were all on different hardware... But SSD-backed storage (which happened to be under VirtualBox) was by far the best

37 [11:40] <RandalSchwartz> all SSD goodness. :)
2015-06-10,Wed
100 [11:23] <brycec> I'm slightly annoyed that I can't [reasonably,safely] have TRIM enabled for my SSD but that's my only gripe.
108 [11:27] <brycec> Oh but they do... for their own whitelisted SSDs :P

164 [19:55] <RandalSchwartz> my SSD-based freebsd 10 box on DigitalOcean reboots *so* fast.
165 [19:56] <mercutio> SSD's do seem to help reboot performance a bit.
2015-05-19,Tue
135 [02:23] <brycec> I have an SSD cache, and a nasty FreeBSD bug that causes my host machine to crash :P
143 [02:24] <brycec> I have a few spare 60GB SSD's so I just threw them at it.
209 [03:28] <brycec> Frankly with the speed of SSD's the improvement is less than the improvement in read performance seen with hdd's
2015-05-17,Sun
103 [15:44] <RandalSchwartz> $5 at digitalocean.com with 20GB of SSD and 512M ram. and it would launch in 55 seconds.
2015-05-02,Sat
39 [13:06] <acf___> hmm. in case of an SSD failure?
45 [13:07] <acf___> I know there is a problem if you cut power to the SSD
2015-04-29,Wed
280 [19:23] <sorressean> Urm. I ordered a server with a 128gb SSD and got a 1tb HD
2015-04-22,Wed
386 [20:57] <RandalSchwartz> and it has 20 GB SSD.
2015-04-18,Sat
63 [12:36] <m0unds> using steammover to relocate x-plane from one of my SSDs back to a platter disk is taking forever
2015-04-08,Wed
1 [00:12] <brycec> That's enough to read the entire 128MB SSD 15 times/second. But do they even make 128mb SSDs? (:P)

2015-04-07,Tue
503 [20:40] <brycec> Would be nice to have 4*256GB SSD, but I can't justify doubling (actually, more than) the monthly cost
523 [20:43] <brycec> SSD too, although it's a bit less egregious :p takes about 6mos to pay off one of those.
532 [20:47] <RandalSchwartz> I've heard that SSD and hard disk are now similar in MTBF
538 [20:50] <brycec> I've seen the same - about equal. SSD can last a bit longer too.
2015-02-28,Sat
28 [13:25] <brycec> It is a fairly good deal, especially for a quality SSD as Intel's are regarded.
30 [13:25] <brycec> $.50/GB is more-or-less the market price on SSDs it seems, but "good SSDs" like the Intel are usually more expensive.
40 [13:29] <brycec> I can't help but feel wary of "refurbished" and "recertified" SSDs (or other heavy-use flash storage). Though I suppose a secure-erase and they're good as new...
2015-02-25,Wed
108 [20:30] <RandalSchwartz> nice... gcc built in 31 minutes on SSD. :)
114 [20:31] <RandalSchwartz> we're live on the SSD now
2015-02-24,Tue
30 [16:46] <RandalSchwartz> the larger scenario is using send/receive to get a point-in-time snapshot from hard disk to SSD
2015-01-16,Fri
40 [16:21] <RandalSchwartz> so I created zroot2 on my SSDs, and am using zxfer to do the mirror
2015-01-08,Thu
179 [15:55] <up_the_irons> we could add a 256GB SSD :)
180 [15:55] <up_the_irons> even 2x 256GB SSD ;)
346 [18:04] <mnathani> 32 core, upto 448 GiB Ram and 6.5 TB of SSD storage
2014-11-26,Wed
9 [06:08] <up_the_irons> looks like a wicked price for a 480GB SSD ($199)
2014-11-17,Mon
511 [23:08] <mnathani> this dedicated has RAID 1 SSD
533 [23:13] <mnathani> this server was provisioned like 2 years ago : Processor: Intel Xeon E3-1240 Quad Core Sandy Bridge | RAM: 8GB DDR3 SDRAM | SSD: 2 X 256GB SSD in RAID 1 | HD2: 500GB SATA Backup Drive
2014-11-11,Tue
61 [18:32] <up_the_irons> what is the significance of "Vertical" SSD ?

50 [16:20] <m0unds> i think i might put it in a slim sort of case and put an i5 cpu and maybe 8gb of ram in it w/a 120GB SSD and use it as a steam streaming box in my living room
2014-08-06,Wed
25 [01:59] <plett> It's being able to use SSDs as ZIL and L2ARC read/write caches in front of big slow disks
70 [18:26] <JC_Denton> i still need to play HR. been wanting to drop an SSD in before i mess with it.
77 [18:32] <JC_Denton> figure the SSD will breathe some new life in without going full bore
2014-07-24,Thu
29 [12:19] <jpalmer> sadly, my ultrabay doesnt fit it. I was going to do a 256g SSD, and a 500g SATA in place of the optical drive. guess I'll forgo the HDD for now, and just do the SSD.

79 [17:58] <brycec> Yep, same here - my desktop has a pair of SSD's raid1'd
89 [18:00] <brycec> (my "big fast pool" uses 3 SSDs - 1 for cache, and 2 mirrored for log)
90 [18:00] <brycec> I dunno, I see Linux doing SSDs better than anything else
107 [18:04] <brycec> "you want to know in advance everything yo'ure going to request" -- Readahead isn't an issue with SSDs. My RAM is only marginally faster than going to the SSD.
2014-05-22,Thu
237 [22:28] <up_the_irons> The SSD i'm going to be putting in it was like $204, so almost double the cost ;)
2014-05-08,Thu

2013-10-27,Sun
42 [15:19] <mnathani> I have a VPS with Futurehosting for one of my clients. Apparently its running on a pure SSD array. What benchmarks can I run to get an idea of how it compares with regular disks?
68 [22:00] <mnathani> any idea what a good disk benchmark is that I can run on the SSD?
2013-09-25,Wed
62 [14:55] <up_the_irons> i'd pop in a 1TB SATA or 120GB SSD

153 [21:32] <sdkmvx> I don't know what the fascination with SSDs in servers is.
158 [21:51] <brycec> So you're not denying that you'll be replacing all storage with SSD's? :D
170 [23:52] <up_the_irons> brycec: i was waiting for mnathani to come back to answer.. but negative, unless someone wants to buy us over 200 SSDs to replace all our SATAs :)

2013-05-14,Tue
71 [13:15] <Hien> up_the_irons: it would be nice if you can get SSDs before weekend :). BTW, i replied your recent email
72 [13:16] <up_the_irons> Hien: i ordered 6x SSDs from 3 different vendors (2x each), so I'm pretty sure at least one batch will arrive before the weekend :)
2013-05-13,Mon
132 [10:20] <up_the_irons> jbergstroem: gotta give me a couple days for the SSD to arrive (need to order it), then like 24 hours for provisioning
133 [10:20] * up_the_irons thinks maybe he should just order a few SSDs anyway...
2013-05-06,Mon
144 [20:17] <brycec> Of course up_the_irons just needs to replace all his disks with SSD's now...

18 [01:45] <up_the_irons> so the 128GB SSDs are the same price as 1TB SATA
132 [07:43] <brycec> up_the_irons: To answer your question - mSATA stuff plugs into mini PCIe slots, but it's not strictly PCIe and the slot has to support mSATA. It's found inside most laptops nowadays, and I think I've seen it on some recent Intel desktop motherboards. Generally, mSATA is what laptops use for SSDs given the chance (Apple and Chromebooks to name a couple) since it's smaller and lighter and you could probably still fit an old-fashioned hard ...
135 [07:48] <brycec> up_the_irons: btw I have a handful of those OCZ Agility3 120GB SSDs and so far they've all been fantastic! Been running them for about 18mos now and still going strong, and fast. Using them from everything - cache and log drives in ZFS pools, raid1 on my desktop (good lord the speed!), in the missus' gaming machine, and in most of my laptops.

4 [00:32] <brycec> Mar 12 15:59 <@up_the_irons> Woet: we could get an SSD in a dedi, yeah; what size are you looking for?
7 [00:33] <brycec> ah http://irclogger.arpnetworks.com/irclogger_log_search/arpnetworks?search=SSD&action=search&error=0
2013-04-19,Fri
16 [00:18] <brycec> I use noop... but that's because my system disks are SSDs :D (otherwise I just leave it defaulted to cfq)
2013-03-12,Tue
89 [10:54] <Woet> do you guys offer any SSDs on dedi?
108 [15:59] <up_the_irons> Woet: we could get an SSD in a dedi, yeah; what size are you looking for?
2013-02-19,Tue
333 [21:10] <mnathani> up_the_irons: also have you considered offering SSD drives on the ARP Metal Dedicated servers? If so what price point would they be at?
2012-11-04,Sun
28 [17:48] <niner> Two hours ago: "Wow, the HDD on this XP machine's getting full. Perhaps I should finally get around to upgrading to an SSD, and moving games/etc to a second HDD." Me, just now: "So... I ghosted the old 250gb drive onto a 500gb drive and didn't grow the partition and didn't notice for 2 years???"
2012-10-29,Mon
164 [23:32] <up_the_irons> jdoe: it'd be pretty easy to test, just pull out the SSD during some write intense operations and see if the server keeps going :)

86 [00:37] <mercutio> [ 3.977270] Btrfs detected SSD devices, enabling SSD mode
2012-08-14,Tue
76 [13:36] <doomviking> all SSD, all the time
2012-08-02,Thu
186 [19:41] <arenlor> awyeah: SSDD, you?
189 [19:42] <up_the_irons> awyeah: SSDPoP
191 [19:42] <awyeah> SSDPoP
198 [19:44] <arenlor> SSDD == Same Shit, Different Day. Stephen King came up with it.
213 [19:49] <up_the_irons> awyeah: SSDPoP = Same shit, different pair of pants
2011-12-30,Fri
140 [14:39] <RandalSchwartz> but it's a macbookpro with 500GB SSD
165 [14:57] <mhoran> It's been in fanless mode once or twice, and it was amazingly quiet. Since I got the SSD.
2011-12-04,Sun
212 [16:29] <kbeezie> :P guess the only thing better would be SSD and Raid10 :D
213 [16:30] <jpalmer> meh. SSD.. nowhere near as reliable as magentic disks yet. I'll take the reliability over the speed any day ;)
214 [16:30] <jpalmer> besides, if they used SSD.. your prices would skyrocket :P
215 [16:31] <kbeezie> odd didn't consider SSD being less reliable (ie: solid state vs moveing/degratting platters)
216 [16:31] <kbeezie> unless course certain SSDs can fail after so many 'flips'
2011-06-14,Tue
56 [11:24] <up_the_irons> HighJinx: what is a really good SSD if money doesn't matter?
2011-06-01,Wed
84 [11:31] <reardencode> fink: briefly had me believing ARP used SSDs
2011-04-22,Fri
83 [14:25] <reardencode> gotcha, yeah, I'm seeing 180MB/s sequential, which is in SSD territory
2011-03-17,Thu
277 [15:36] <pilgrimd> I already maxed the RAM. Waiting for SSDs to get better and cheaper.
2011-03-04,Fri
442 [18:59] <ballen> I'll also have two 128GB MLC SSD for L2ARC
2010-08-21,Sat
20 [09:10] <ballen> Anyone ever use or test Fusion-IO SSD PCI-e cards?
2010-07-20,Tue
90 [11:38] <up_the_irons> i gotta stick in another stick of ram (only comes with 1G), and then maybe i'm thinking of putting in an SSD. only thing with the SSD is, it would increase my TCO by about 50%, cuz this thing was so cheap to begin with
2010-04-19,Mon
141 [13:33] <up_the_irons> bob^^: so my buddy just lent me his 64G SSD
149 [13:41] <bob^^> nice, i'd be interested to hear how the SSD is on power
2010-01-06,Wed
157 [18:14] <up_the_irons> have you seen SSD pricing? :)
171 [18:19] <up_the_irons> jeev: huh? what about the actually SSD cost. WAY f*cking higher than a SATA drive and MUCH lower capacity
173 [18:19] <up_the_irons> jeev: buy me 8 500GB SSD's and I'll offer SSD VMs ;)
2009-12-12,Sat
180 [19:58] <ballen> I'd just start using SSD drives ;-)
187 [20:03] <ballen> I want to get a hold of one of the Sun SSD trays
2009-10-03,Sat
381 [16:50] <ballen> give each node a 32G SSD
386 [16:51] <BeBoo_> not a fan of SSD
458 [17:01] <ballen> SSD drives have always been faster
461 [17:02] <ballen> really the ideal setup would be two SSDs and a set of slower SATA drives in ZFS
462 [17:02] <ballen> ZFS is smart enough to do writes to the SSDs and move it around later
466 [17:05] <ballen> and if by chance you have an application that does a lot of sequential reads/writes SSD owns all
