Should SSD drives use ASM fine striping instead of coarse?

By default, ASM wants to stripe data files across disks in 1MB chunks. This makes perfect sense for rotating disk drives, with their very limited IOPS rates, but for SSD drives, which can handle 100X more IOPS than spinning disks, wouldn't the 128kb stripe size be better, expecially for relatively small (<1TB) data file sizes?

Agreed, it very much depends on the user needs.  For example, I took 10 days of video footage on vacation in Hawaii - 720p at 60fps.  The sum size of that footage is 20gb.  So it would fit no problem on the 256gb SSD.  I could fit several other vacation footages as well, along with some of my animation project footages, on the 256gb SSD.  I could be working several of these projects at once if needed.  (Although I would eventually move footage to disk backup storage on a server anyway, so it wouldn't need to clutter up the SSD forever.) 
So for my usage, terabytes of platter drive arrays for footage is probably not needed.  Why not take advantage of fast access times of the SSD for reading footage.  Isn't that what folks are doing when they RAID 0 platter drives to hold footage - trying to improve the read speeds for performance?  In the past, with SSDs in the $300+ range - might not have made sense to go SSD.  But with fast 256gb SSDs going for $150 or lower, if you don't need the platter space, seems like you can get a nice performance boost using an SSD - without having to resort to raid arrays of platter drives.  I might give it a try and see how it goes.

  • When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported.  Is this a bug in Mavericks?

    When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported. 
    This happens not just with the SSD in my Mac Mini, but with another SSD in my MacBook (both now running Mavericks).  So far as I know, all of the kit I am using is in good order (despite the file corruption reports).  So I am beginning to wonder if it could be due to a bug in Mavericks?  Both SSD drives have been formatted to MacOS Extended (journaled) format.  Should I have used a different format, I wonder?
    Has anyone else encountered this issue?
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Or an explanation that might help my investigation of the issue?
    Thanks guys,

    I understand that the Corsair Force 3 is not one of the SSD drives that are supported on Apple Macs. 
    I did try downloading and using Trim Enabler, but the error message came up both when it was off and when it was on.
    I understand that not everyone thinks Trim Enabler is a good program, though there is a new version out now, so I may give it another try.

  • SSD drive in a DV6205us

    Has anyone dropped a Solid State Drive into a dv6000 series yet? If so, Is it stable and fast? 

    In my opinion, SSD drives have a problem because of an assumption in File Systems.
    When a file is deleted with traditional rotating drives, only the directory entry is cleared, and the actual data blocks are simply added to the free pool to be re-used later. Re-use merely overwrites entire blocks (no read-modify-write involved). Simple, effective, and FAST.
    An SSD cannot write anything but a completely empty block, and its internal blocks are HUGE. To re-write a (partial) superblock, it must read-erase-modify-write, a very slow procedure.
    But no general-purpose notification is sent to the drive that the "un-needed" data blocks should be considered "deleted". This works fine for a rotating drive that will later simply overwrite deleted blocks. But lacking a notification of what blocks are "deleted", the SSD continues to carry ALL those "deleted" blocks as if they were good data. This clogs it up, and performance on many SSD drives goes way down.
    Apple-certified SSD drives use TRIM to notify the SSD which blocks have been deleted. But Apple routines do not send these commands to non-Apple-tested drives, as Apple has not tested these.
    TRIM Enabler from groths makes a patch to enable TRIM for any SSD that claims to support it. This may cause unintended consequences on certain drives. No one knows for sure. I use it and have had no issues with it. Use it at your own risk.
    If you choose to use it:
    Install the Utility.
    Run the Utility and enable TRIM for each drive you want.
    Restart.
    Run Disk Utility ( Repair Disk ). If all is well, you will get an additional message: "TRIM-ing unused blocks"

  • Zero Out Data on a SSD drive: Are my findings correct?

    "Note: With OS X Lion and an SSD drive, Secure Erase and Erasing Free Space are not available in Disk Utility. These options are not needed for an SSD drive because a standard erase makes it difficult to recover data from an SSD. For more security, consider turning on FileVault 2 encryption when you start using the SSD drive."
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3680
    Seems to hard to believe, as I've seen some of the top participants here clearly say that first your set a new partition, then erase Macintosh HD, then zero out data?

    Retired Engineer, do you have any references?  What I have read says otherwise. 
    Drive Wear & Tear
    What is your estimation of wear and tear on the flash by writing to 0's.  What percentage of the drives total usage has been "wasted"?  I thought even consumer drives where capable of 1000 - 10000 rewrites per cell, whereas enterprise SSDs are capable of over 100,000: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9112065/Solid_state_disk_lackluster_for_l aptops_PCs?taxonomyId=19&pageNumber=1&taxonomyName=Storage.
    "For one thing, it matters whether the SSD drive uses SLC or MLC memory. SLC generally endures up to 100,000 write cycles or writes per cell, while MLC can endure anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 writes before it begins to fail, according to Fujitsu's Hagberg. For its part, Western Digital's laptop hard-disk drive boasts up to 600,000 write cycles."
    That's an old artcile too.  Slightly newer, in late 2008 Micron/Sun achieved SLC NAND chips capable of over 1,000,000 write cycles: http://investors.micron.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=440650 .  I imagine things have gotten slightly better in the last 4 years.
    Data Wiping
    This paper (http://static.usenix.org/events/fast11/tech/full_papers/Wei.pdf) states, "In most cases, overwriting the entire disk twice was sufficient to sanitize the disk, regardless of the previous state of the drive."
    Going on however, "Overall, the results for overwriting are poor: while overwriting appears to be effective in some cases across a wide range of drives, it is clearly not universally reliable. It seems unlikely that an individual or organization expending the effort to sanitize a device would be satisfied with this level of performance."
    The best method I have found for wiping an SSD on a Mac is the (SAFE) Scramble and Finally Erase process as described in this UC San Diego research paper: http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/users/swanson/papers/TR-cs2011-0963-Safe.pdf.
    According to their paper, the effectiveness of the procedure is equiavlent to degaussing a magentic drive. Another tidbit, the SAFE technique is replicated by Sandforce controller when someone reformats the drive (as mentioned by Linc Davis above, however, I believe this is specific only to Sandforce controllers).

  • Anyone useing an SSD Drive in a Mac Pro? Should it be Sata? or pci..can it be bootable?

    The Title says it all!
    But to recap, I would like an SSD boot drive for my 3,1 power Mac.....I can get SSD drives in PCE or SATA configuration, which would work better?
    Thanks for any info
    Jim

    EIDE or PATA hasn't been used and of course is way too slow.
    SSDs today are "too fast" for the SATA II we have so you don't need SATA 3, SATA II is still hitting the wall with an SSD.
    You do know that yours should get 250MB/sec but being small you need to cut down on what you store on your boot drive and use other drives for meda and data.
    SATA 3 SSDs can deliver up to 500MB/sec which again is getting close to the max bandwidth of 700MB/sec that the controller chip used in the Mac Pro is capable of, which is shared by all 4 drive bays.
    Many users stick the SSD in the lower optical drive bay. Very convenient. I can't remember if you have an SATA optical drive though or they still used EIDE.

  • Should I put the new SSD drive in main HDD bay or the Superdrive/Optical bay for a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

    Hello All,
    I'm considering getting a new SSD drive to add on to my Mid-2010 Macbook Pro (13 inches, unibody), and wondering which one of the following two options I should really adapt: 
    (1) Replace the original OEM hard drive in the main bay with the new SSD drive, and then remove the Superdrive (or the optical CD drive) and to be fitted into an external enclosure for using it externally in the future, and then relocate the original OEM hard drive into the Superdrive position, so both the new SSD (preferably for running the OS and system files) and the old OEM hard drive (for storing media and documents for example) could be used; and
    (2) Keep the original OEM hard drive in place in the main drive, and buy a superdrive/optical drive caddy to goes with the new SSD drive, and together place the new SSD drive fitted inside the caddy into the position of the Superdrive/Optical CD drive, and configure the boot preference to be booting from the Superdrive/Optical Drive (which is now the SSD drive with OS and system files);
    I've done some researches and some suggested that option (2) is better approach for at least two reason: (a) the MBP main drive come with some sort of shock proof sensor, so placing the original optical hard drive in the main is better than placing it in the super/optical drive where there is NO shock sensing feature provided, and placing SSD in the super/optical drive, one doesn't really have to worry so much about shocks; and (b) as during the process of shutting down the MBP, for optical hard drive, some power will sometimes needed to finally spin down the drive, but if such optical hard drive is place in the superdrive, the power maybe cut off right away when MBP shut down, which may cause issue to the optical hard drive in a long run as it never properly spin it down.
    Then the main concern is that, if I adapt option (2) above, placing SSD in the super/optical drive bay and install and running the OS from there, will it decrease the performance (i.e. speed, latency, and etc.) as if i was to put the new SSD in the main drive?
    Also, any suggestions with respect to Samsung 840 EVO vs. Samsung 850 EVO (250GB)? any well-rated HD caddy aside from OWC for moving the main HDD to optical CD bay? and perhaps an external enclosure for the Superdrive?  Thanks in advance for any comment and/or suggestion. 
    - Jack

    Could you provide some rationale(s) behind it?  As far as I know, the mid 2010 Macbook Pro, the HDD is running via the SATA interface at running at 3.0 Gb/s, which is SATA II, and the Super-drive and/or the Optical drive, which is also running via SATA II interface, so I would assume the performance (i.e. primarily in speed) would be similar if not the same by placing the SSD drive in either one of the two places. 
    Also, wouldn't it be better by placing the SSD in the optical so the OEM HDD could be kept in the original main bay since it has the shock-sensing feature there?

  • Why is my iMac Start up SSD Drive filling up without any use?

    I noticed yesterday that my main boot drive, my SSD drive, on my iMac was seriously depleting in memory without me doing anything or downloading anything either so much so that but 10pm last night it was saying my start up drive was full. I ran Disk Utility on the drive and it said I had a problem and should run in Recovery HD so rebooted the computer and ran it, it said it had fixed permissions so thought all was okay but after rebooting again the memory is still running down!
    I also tried erasing the disk and using Time Machine as a back up from a previous time, this had no effect. I thought it could be a Snow Leopard update that came in yesterday but that doesn't seem to be the problem as I have used a back up from before I updated...
    I'm literally watching the 'Used' numbers from the Get Info on my SSD drive go up infront of my eyes every few seconds.
    Any help would be much appriciated!

    In your Mountain Lion's Time Machine settings, you are now allowed to designate not just one only, but multiple Time Machine backup drives, though you don't have to.  I'm wondering if possibly your TM settings are backing up one of your internal hard drives both to your external hard drive AND to the internal SSD drive.  You might want to check to see if that is the case, and if so, change it.
    Hope this helps

  • How to use Time Capsule after intalling an SSD drive.

    I'll ty to be specific.
    I have an iMac with an HDD drive. It was plugged to a Time Capsule which was doing the backup.
    I installed an SSD drive which will be used as an Application drive alongside the HDD drive as a data drive.
    I now have a blank SSD drive into which I'll install the Maverick.
    I now have to keep doing the backup on the Time Capsule through Time Machine of both drives.
    How do I do that considering:
    1) The Time Machine is already housing the HDD backup up to the point I installed the SSD.
    2) The SSD will be my new boot drive.
    3) I need to update the Time Capsule backup of the old HDD.
    4) I need it to start the backup of the new SDD.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Buying a new iMac - can you use an external SSD drive as boot drive?

    Here is the question: Can you attach an external SSD and use that as your boot drive accompanying an iMac? This way all the Apple warranties stay valid but I am not saddled with the expense of the Apple installed SSD price?
    Now for some background ...
    I am looking to buy a new iMac replacing my loved but woefully underpowered Mac Mini. In a perfect world I would like the following set-up based on how today's iMacs can be configured:
    Processor: 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    Memory: 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
    Hard Drive: 1TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
    Optical Drive: 8x double-layer SuperDrive
    The problem is I'd rather not spend $3200+. I would imagine most people plug something similar in and then begin to ID must vs. nice to haves. So, here are my must haves:
    Memory: Minimum 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB (I was thinking of starting with minimum and then purchase the right RAM and installing myself)
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 1GB
    Hard Drive: 256GB Solid State Drive
    I like to work the graphics side and have a media library of almost 1TB (uploading, downloading, converting, editing, etc.). With my existing setup I have 3+TB of external storage but again, am suffering massively in the horsepower department as it takes hours for me to do what I believe a new iMac can help me accomplish in a fraction of that time. This is not my profession so while I looked at the towers I still need this computer to serve as a family computer as well. Appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
    Cheers,
    -Jim

    Ok this is great as we are progressing through. 
    So yes it can be done but there's the caveat of the "pipes" once you go external.  The only option for an external SSD Drive with thunderbolt that I know of is LaCie's 240 GB version ... Priced at $800.
    I think what I will need to do is suck it up.  The new MacBooks have the core technology I'd like but we really want the larger screen.
    Last question - should I wait/when might we expect an updated line of iMacs? In a few months or not for a while? That answer may provide some direction if it is anticipated to be sooner vs later.
    Thank you!

  • Should I get an SSD drive?

    Hello.
    I'm thinking of buying a new MacBook for school. I've come to the conclusion that I should get either the MacBook Air 13" or Retina MacBook Pro 13".
    In either case I definitely want the specs to be: 8GB Ram and 256 GB SSD Drive.
    However:
    During my research I've come across a lot of articles saying that you should be aware of 'how to use' a SSD drive in order to 'make it last as long as possible', and that you should write as little data as possible to it.
    How big of a deal is this really?
    Since I'll be using my MacBook for school I obviously need to do a lot(!) of text editing, which means a lot of writting to the disk (since I'll be opening the same document several times and edit it). I'll be using it for light video (iMovie) and audio (GarageBand) editing as well.
    After reading all these articles on the SSD Drive I'm thinking if it's better to just stick with a HDD Drive (the non-Retina MBP)?
    Please help me out here guys.
    Thanks.

    With all of the estimated "mean time before failure" tests I've seen regarding SSDs, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out - after SSDs have been installed in consumer computers for a longer period - if SSDs didn't come out on top versus the short lifespan of hard disk drives.
    So if I were you, realizing that you're going to upgrade your computer within the next 7-10 years, I wouldn't worry about the read/write figures that you see with SSDs. My oldest SSD is 3 years old and it's still going strong. The current SSDs that I have are less than 4 months old, tops. I've yet to have a problem with an SSD (although all four of mine have been manufactured by Crucial).
    I don't think you've anything to worry about - the SSD will long outlast the computer, I'm certain.

  • I have tried many times to install a SSD drive by using optical drive tray, my MBP is early 2011, intel serise 6,  checked on webpage, and someone say SSD could be installed on HDD drive, I guess it could be solved by driver, anyone good idea?

    Hi, MBP friends, any ideas for this problem? I tried hard and checked the hardware we have, and it hardly to say the problem from hardware, instead I am thinking it could be solved by driver update, or someone who is good on computer language that could help with the problem.
    My computer is early 2011, with intel serise 6 and sata 3 acceptable. I dont know why the opitical drive can not support ssd drive instead.
    need help, I really dont want to put my SSD driver to HDD driver, and move HDD driver to optical driver.

    well, i have got information from website, and it says it will be harmful to hdd driver set in optical area coz there is no vibration protection function.
    i have checked the system, and it says the sata speed is the same 6G and chip intel series 6. it should be the same speed, right?
    I am thinking that the chip is the same and mortherboard is the same, the cable is similar as well, why it doesnt work? driver issue? OSX issue? or software issue? firmware?
    or simply to say, if i am trying to setup two ssd driver into MBP, it has to be one in opitcal driver area. how could work?
    thanks... still in puzzle.
    right now, i have reinstall the osx into ssd by usb external, and install it back with opitcal tray, however, when i turn on the computer, the system can not be logged in from SSD, and computer can not read SSD driver, and it says it must be formatted or push out.

  • Using 2 Partitions on SSD Drive - Snow Leopard & Leopard

    We have split our APPLE SSD TS128A into two partitions. We then installed Snow Leopard on one partition and booted from it successfully. Then we inserted our Leopard disc to install Leopard on the other partition. To our surprise the Leopard disc (upon restart) would only produce a grey screen followed by a black screen/power down. If we booted up holding down option we could see the Leopard disc and select it for mounting but we still had the same result.
    Next we gave up on a clean Leopard install and cloned a previous Leopard OS from an external hard drive to the second partition of our SSD drive. Using SuperDuper everything copied over successfully but the volume would not boot successfully. Again we got a grey screen followed by a quick black screen / power down.
    We are wondering if this a problem with this SSD drive as we have cloned many times in the past from computer to computer and never had a problem like this.
    We have also preciously run Leopard on this SSD drive while the drive had only one partition.
    Also, yes our Leopard install disc is fine. We have used it on other machines. Also, yes we have enough room on each partition for each OS installation.
    We partitioned using GUID and each partition/volume is Mac Extended Journaled

    Apple doesn't program any Macs not to allow an earlier version of the OS to be used. However, a Mac cannot not successfully boot from an OS that does not include appropriate drivers for its hardware components, & quite often more recent Macs have upgraded hardware that are not supported by the drivers shipped with older versions of the OS.
    For this reason, the OS +installer package+ checks the hardware of the Mac targeted for the OS install & compares it to a list of what it can support. If the Mac isn't on that list, it will refuse to install the OS. For the same reason, if you bypass the installer, like by using a clone of the HD of a different Mac with an older OS version on it, it generally will not successfully boot a Mac with newer hardware.
    Note that the hardware differences can & usually do include things other than just the CPU or graphics processor. Check /System/Library/Extensions, which is the home of the drivers (as well as other extensions) & note that things like the System Management Controller (SMC) & various input/output (IO) devices each have drivers that correspond to subsystems typically implemented with different hardware on different Macs.
    And to answer a question this might raise: no, generally speaking you can't mix & match drivers from different versions of the OS & expect stable results. This is largely due to the interrelationship between drivers: some have dependencies on others (especially among the IO ones) so a mismatch can cause problems, up to & including kernel panics.
