RamasesN3 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have a PC running Ubuntu 13.04 hosting a Tekkit server. The PC has an Intel G630 2.7Ghz, 250Gb hdd and 4Gb RAM with 3Gb assigned to the Tekkit Server. I have recently acquired a 64Gb SSD, would my server benefit from having this installed (and why/what would the benefits be?) or should I use it to refresh an old laptop that I have? Any advice appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Ducky Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well how much would you use that old laptop? I have never tried using a SSD for a sever, but for general computer use, it is really helpful. Programs/files load super fast. I do a lot of work with photos and videos, and being able to load many full HD videos at once is awesome! I would go with more ram before a SSD for a sever.

Dewfire Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yea, Minecraft and Tekkit are not HDD intensive, will use more RAM and CPU. Adding a SSD won't help server performance except maybe when the server is booting or loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamasesN3 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 ok, thanks guys. I'll stick the SSD in the laptop and save up for some more RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
