Moving from HDD to SSD [SOLVED]

Gradius · Jan 23, 2011, 2:01 AM

Well, I decided to make my pfServer machine into a permanent one.

So I want to go from a normal HDD to a brand new SSD (64GB).

What's the better way? Just backup my configuration then install a fresh copy on SSD, or…?

That's the recommended (and best) way. Back up your config.xml, do a fresh install on the new device and install your config.xml. The process works flawlessly.

Does pfSense/FreeBSD automatically trim SSD drives? If not is there a process to take care of this. Maybe a script that can be scheduled via CRON?
