I'm running two SSDs in RAID 1 on an LSI 9260-8i adapter and ESXi 5.1 lists the RAID 1 virtual drive as "Non-SSD". I know I can instruct ESXi to recognize it as an SSD, but should I?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of tagging the drive as an SSD?
I've heard that tagging it as an SSD will enable the ability to swap to "host cache". However, I'm not sure if that's worth doing since the VMs will all be located on the same SSD virtual drive so they will already have the benefits of the speed of the two SSD's.
