Subject: Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH docs] system-requirements: mention that SSDs with PLP should be used
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2024 14:29:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <106c0a91-ffeb-4d5c-b305-025a96ef2450@proxmox.com> (raw)

Should we stick with v1 or v2? V1 is definitely more strongly worded
than v2.
v1:
+**·SSDs·with·Power-Loss-Protection·(PLP)·are·recommended·for·good·performance.
+··Using·consumer·SSDs·is·discouraged.
vs v2:
+**·Enterprise·grade·SSDs·are·recommended·for·good·performance.·Check·for·power
+··loss·protection·(PLP)·to·avoid·using·consumer-grade·SSDs,·which·are·not
+··recommended.
