Yeah, but for Untangle? Larger installations have so much IO going into and out of the database that the write tolerance becomes a problem. The speed is nice for bootup, but not as useful at run-time.

Though, an SSD enabled Untangle does let you wander around reports much more quickly. Personally, I use them strictly for the longer warranties on the drives, 5 years for an EVO and 10 for a Pro is quite nice.

True. But I kinda stick with the low storage versions. 60GB ssd for untangle seems to be like at least 70% more space then I need. So for the price of a 60GB ssd I think it's worth it. Ye, the EVO and PRO is most likely better and more expensive. I'm going to think about getting a pro maybe at some point for my Untangle box. But only if reliability becomes a problem.

I've got a 120gb 840 EVO in my current Untangle box, it was used in my daughters Windows 7 based laptop for 1.5 years, then transferred to my Untangle where it just turned 3. At present rate of consumption, it'll last another 7 years.

I found this script online sometime ago, I use it via terminal to monitor drive consumption. It's not the most elegant thing, but it gets the job done.

Nice. I have a couple of 840 EVO's myself. But they are both in use and one is 250GB and the other 500GB. I rather buy a new 850 EVO before putting one of them in there

When it comes to Linux I'm a noob. Scripts, whatever OS you use them in I'm a noob. Sorry
But I can kinda see what it's doing atleast.

[sky-knight]

Well, all you need to do is copy the contents into a file, convention says with a .sh extension. Make the thing executable, and run it. The output is pretty self explanatory.

[elmy79]

okey. That's nice.

Btw. I got my new ssd today. One thing I have to say. My head is not working right all the time. lol
I ordered a msata ssd because I thought I would install it on the motherboard. Well that was until I remembered that it's occupied by one of the wifi cards.
Luckily I'm a bit of an ebay addict.
So a little while ago with no bigger plans of what to use them for, I ordered 2 msata ssd adapter casings. So I guess I will be using one of them now

All I need now is a 4G bridge modem since my 4g router is not bridgeable.

[elmy79]

Installed Untangle on the new ssd. So time will show if that was the case or if I have a ram problem.
