I was having a discussion recently with a co-worker about some information he had read somewhere indicating that some SSDs in certain hardware were ill-suited to be used as a software distribution point in Jamf, especially for use in a situation like "re-imaging" a lab, where there is a steady draw on the distribution point over an extended period of time.
So, what makes a good software distribution point in your experience? What do you use in your environments? I'd love to hear!
Mine's on a windows server, set up as SMB share, in our virtual enviorment.
SSD technology, it has unlimited "read" cycles, but a limited number of "write" cycles.
With a personal computer, quality SSD drives our mature enough to last as long as a spinning HDD.
Not familiar with SSD's in various enterprise scenarios, however.
We had 50+ Mac minis (one at each campus) with HDDs for years. In the last year I have consolidated that down to 6 virtual Ubuntu servers. The minis did a fine job just replicating to all those took FOREVER. The Ubuntu servers have cut that to a fraction of the time.
