Hi Guys,

Need to build a decent spec server for a database requiring heavy IOPS, but it's kinda my first forday into SSD at all let alone RAID.

From what I understood in the past, performance degradation over time due to lack of TRIM support was the thing stopping SSD RAID. Now however, its supported on some chipsets?

I currently have some spare hardware to play with and a limited budget to swap motherboard/CPU if a different chipset is required for TRIM support.

Intel E3-1230v2
SuperMicro X9SCA-F motherboard
4x 120GB Intel 330series SSD in RAID10
Adaptec 5805 (2xSSD per Cable/Connector)

It'll be running Linux/CentOS

My current limited understanding would be that the TRIM software would need to be installed under linux and would somehow interface via the adaptec card? or directly?

Providing of course the TRIM/RAID support is fine on this chipset.

Anybody have any clues?
 
Hello,

Our Series 5 doesn’t support TRIM and we would not expose raw devices to the OS that would allow a 3rd party application to do TRIM on the SSD’s directly. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
