Just to inform everyone, i tested the HyperX Predator PCIe SSD 240GB in a HP ML350G6 server yesterday and it was detected by the OS as a new drive.
I must say I that the OS was SmartOS, but I am almost certain that the device will work on OI also. I have attached it as a cache device to my ZFS mirror and it worked very well. Unfortunality HP made a crapy bios for the ML350G6 which detects the PCIe device and adjusts the ventilatorspeeds to 70% without any need. Since I use the ML as a home/office server the increased acoustics of the vents made me crazy and I removed the Predator. When I have time I will install it in a server in the datacentre where we have a 16x 300GB ZFS storage and I can run different benchmarks. Format detected the device without any troubles as c1t0d0 and I could partition it. It would be nice to create some partitions for cache and ZIL on the device, but I don't know if ZFS needs a whole drive or just a partition? _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
