Right but note there's a couple of keywords there: "decent-size SSD device" -- don't make a 2.5TB spool partition because there'll be no write leveling. I think 32K write cycles is roughly a century of nightly writes so yeah, that should be good enough. ;) -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
