    Hi All.

    A number of years ago, one of our clients tried putting SSD's in their server, instead of SAS 10K or 15K drives in a raid array.

    Relatively quickly they ran into problems with the SSD's going "bad" due to all the reading/writing that happens in Sage100.  They ended up having to replace the SSD's with rotational drives, and the problems went away immediately.

    Forward to today - a different client is asking if they should get SSD's in their new server for reliability and performance.  It is a dell server, and the SSD's are available "mixed-use"  "write-intensive" and "read-intensive"

    Does anyone have any specific experience with SSD's in a server for Sage100 advanced, and if so, can advise on the experience and the spec's on the drives ?

    Thanks in advance

    Jeff F.

    SSD notice on Windows 10, not sure if it affected Windows server too

    I thought SSDs didn't need defragging because they are random access.  Mechanical hard drives need it to reduce the amount of physical movement retrieving a file.
    And I love how as the ability to refuse updates decreases, so does the quality control on the updates.
