Could anyone share any experience with installing the Progress DB on enterprise SSD's?

In particular is it feasible? Performance issues if any? What about .bi and .ai files?

Thanks for any insight/comments/recommendations.
 
Yes, it is feasible. And good for performance too. It won't cure every performance problem but it's a nice improvement.

The usual arrangements with AI -- use a distinct disk for AI for recoverability reasons.

You specified Enterprise SSD so I will trust that you know that cheap consumer-grade SSDs might not be ideal ;)
 
Thanks, Tom.

Yes, "enterprise" was there for a reason. ;)

As to the AI and BI files... I was initially thinking to put each of those structures on their own disk, unsure whether HDD or SSD.
 
It's hard to say. If you have an endless supply of SSD disks to choose from there's no reason not to put everything on SSD -- and I know a consultant who would be happy to spend as much time as you'd like testing as many variations as possible ;)

If forced to compromise and skip the testing I'd start by putting the bi with the db (both on SSD) and try to keep the AI on a distinct SSD.

Mixed rotating and SSD environments do work -- it will primarily affect write performance under load.
