On May 27, 2015, I replaced the system raid of hadante (4 spinning 500 GB disks, RAID5) with 4 Samsung SSD drives (also 500 GB, RAID5). It was well worth it. The speed is amazing!
Along with the disks I ordered 4 3.5″ -> 2.5″ installation frames. As it turned out I only needed two, because you can easily stack two SSD drives on one frame with the right frame. There even is a gap in between, so I don’t expect heat problems.
The RAID5-rebuild was blazing fast. Overall, everything seems to be much snappier.
The serial numbers – SSD drives from top to bottom:
- S21JNXAG415926
- S21JNXAG415880
- S21JNXAG433264
- S21JNXAG433168
The old serial numbers – spinning drives from top to bottom:
- S13TJ1EQ401080 (Samsung)
- 5VMJ32Q9 (Seagate)
