Is There Any Reason To Have More Than Minimum Required Storage?

ghm3
Hi,

I'm about to use the ASG for the first time on a PC I'm building just for this purpose, to become my new home router. 

Having never used Astaro before I have a simple question about the storage. The minimum required storage is 20GB; I'm just curious to know if there's any advantage to having more storage than that?

The reason I ask is because I have my sights set on this sweet little SLC SSD to use as my storage. However, it only just exactly meets the required 20GB of capacity, so I'm wondering if that may lead to any issues or significant drawbacks down the road.

Just in case it's relevant, I have a NAS that I run 24/7 with quite a lot of storage, so if it's simply a matter of storing logs or something and ASG allows you to export them to another device on the network, that's no big deal to me.

Thanks in advacne for any feedback.

    20 gigs is the bare minimum and it really depends on how much logging you are going to do locally.  However keep in mind that astaro does not presently support TRIM which is going to negatively affect the SSD performance over time.  v9 due this year does support TRIM though.  Since you have the capability i would utilize the log export functionality to your san/nas...doing that should mean 20 should be sufficient.
