I think y’all should consider the benchmarks to date as prototypes. Tonight I wrote some scripts which will make my tasks easier and faster. It’s great not to have to manually enter all the commands. It also makes for consistencies between each run. We’ll concentrate on just two tests: bonnie++ and fio. These tests will …

This drive will not be detected by FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE and before. A relatively recent commit fixed a problem with When I booted with the SSD installed, I …
