I do love these new SSDs that I got over the weekend. They're soooo quiet, nice and fast, in particular with no latency when they spin up. That's all my toy budget for the month gone, but I think I'll buy the same again next month to replace the volume that stores my backups. That's still got oodles of space left, but the quiet is nice, and while spin-up time doesn't matter for my backups, having basically zero seek time will really help a lot.
@RL_Dane this UI element in Disk Utility seems to say ... yes 😉 . But they're certainly quieter than the spinning rust that they've replaced, no matter how many times I click the "more louderer" button.
re toots from a few days ago, I'm using #APFS instead of the much better #ZFS, because ZFS just didn't work very well on Mac OS when I played around with it a few days ago. So in the slightly longer term I'm looking for a cheap machine on which I can run #FreeBSD and ZFS, which will support at least 6 x 2.5" SSDs in its own chassis, all hot-swappable without opening it up and without tools, with at least two eSATA ports. Recommendations for something which will Just Work with FreeBSD please!
