ssd hard drive

[raj]

Hi Team,

I am running proxmox on an ibm x3650 7979 and have a synology connected for storage via iscsi.

The drive on the x3650 are 75GB sas 10000rpm.

Its a raid config.

My question is if i change those to a ssd drive instead on the server, will I get a better performance on the vms.

The vms sit on the iscsi.

What i am a bit confused currently is the IO delay number that shows is that the seak time frm the local disk ie where the proxmox install is or the seak time from the iscsi ie where the images resides.

The reason for this if it will give me some more performance, i would change the sas drives to ssd ones.

Please do advise.

Cheers,

Raj

Hi,
no! Why should an SSD for the OS speed up your external storage/network?
Only possible if you overcommit your host and your VMs are swapping! In this case of course yes - but then is more RAM much better...
