SSD in a Qnap TS-110 ?
Hello
I have a Qnap TS-110, which I am using as a home mail and web server for
the past year. It runs Debian Squeeze.
I am considering replacing the hard drive inside with a small SSD, now
that prices have come down. Has anyone else done that? Can anyone report
experiences good or bad with such a set-up?
Apart from reducing power consumption, and noise I am hoping that the
faster seek time of a SSD will make the server more responsive. I
occasionaly access my mail via squirrelmail web mail, and when I do I
can hear the hard drive seeking a lot. Running strace on the Apache
process confirms that the server is accessing a lot of files to service
each request, so I hope that squirrelmail would benefit from an SSD.
Is an SSD a worthwhile investment, or will it make little difference?
Will there be any difficuty fitting one? (I have one of those sheet
steel adaptors for fitting 2.5" drives into a 3.5" bay).
Thank you.
