I'm considering getting a cheap 120GB SSD, I'm not sure which to get, and I'm not sure if I should get one in the first place.
My server only consists of a few friends, who would split the SSD cost with me, I run the server on Ubuntu, sans GUI from an old AutoCAD machine with an HP XW4600 441449-001 X38 FMB-0702 motherboard an old (Core 2 Duo?) processor though I've been told it's more than enough, 8GB of (probably DDR2) RAM, and an old, small video card that I'm not even sure is used and finally, an 80GB or so old drive, the speed is probably around 5400 RPM. I have pretty crappy internet, upload-wise so there are no more than 4 players on at any time.
I think the motherboard may only support 3GB/s SATA. As I cannot yet post links, my CPU should be this:
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8400 (6M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
My players occasionally receive lag, especially when moving around fast and/or generating new chunks, their computers are more than equipped to handle that though. Could an SSD improve the server with a noticeable impact, or is it just the internet's upload speed that's slowing me down?
And lastly, the server is running with around 181 Mods on Forge (about the same number clientside too), and it's actually stable, the OS barely takes up RAM, I have it set to use 5-6GB, but should I perhaps look into putting the whole server, or just the world on a RAM drive instead? Thank you for any replies.
