Hey folks,
I looked back through the list archives and there are surprisingly few
threads with "SSD" in the subject.
In my new job I've been handed over a number of things that were
outstanding with the previous Sys Admin, and one of them was an SSD
that was suspect. I just plugged it into a diagnostics laptop to use
the Linux Smart software to check it - and it all seems fine even
after running the disk test suite from the GUI. In digging for more
info I discovered that the errors were actually coming from the RAID
controller - and the SSD has obviously been removed from there for the
time being.
While I have it in my hands I'd like to do some kind of complete test
/ diagnostics suite on it. Preferably Linux based since that's what
we have here.
I found a few windows-based tools with my googling. I did stumble
upon this page which looks like it has a few useful tips for using
SSDs on Linux
http://danweinreb.org/blog/using-solid-state-disks-on-linux
Now, what about comprehensive suites? Should I just run some IO
suites on it like bonnie++ or something like that, and see what SMART
says in the process?
I'm suspecting the RAID controller at this point ... but want to be as
thorough as possible while I have it in my hands.
cheers,
-Alan
