SSD musings

Post by 8ace »

Hey folks - would ZM benefit running off an SSD? I currently offload the camera storage to separate internal HDDs today.

If I used a spare 128GB SSD would that be beneficial for Ubuntu server and the main ZM stuff, including the database etc?

Appreciate any thoughts!

Needed for database. Not needed for video storage.

thanks. And assuming a max of 2 weeks events for 10 cameras, 5fps (640 thru to 1080) running a mix of record and modect/mocord ... would a 128gb primary drive for ubuntu and database do the trick you think?
