Hello, I am building a new small PostgreSQL Server for my Solar-Powered Mobil- Office based on a Mini-ITX "VIA EPIA LN10000EAG" with 1 GByte of memory where the OS (Debian GNU/Linux) is in three Hitachi TravelStar 20 GByte (in a Raid-1 + Hotfix). I am normaly working alone, but maybe the server would have connections from up to 8 Workstations which are not realy heavy... The controller is a 3Ware 3w8500S-8LP And now it comes: Does anyone has an experience on the special drives which can run 24/7 like the "Hitachi TravelStar E5K160 60 GByte"? I like to put three of them into a Raid-1 + Hotfix. The server is already running but /var/lib/postgres is currently on three Western Digital Raptor WD740 which consuming over 45 Watt andare laud liek an Combat-Aircraft... Three E5K160 would only consume arround 18 Watt. Any Experiences?
