I'm looking for summaries (or best practices) on SSD usage with PostgreSQL.
My use case is mainly a "read-only" database.
Are there any around?
I'm not sure, but for read-only why not just put more memory in the server? It'll be a lot cheaper than SSDs
It is "really expensive" to go over 512GB memory and the performance
regression for
just hitting disk in a system where you assume everything is in memory is
really huge. SSD makes the "edge" be a bit smoother than rotating drives
do.
