My experinces with SSD and SOA on Oracle VM hosted machine

My experinces with SSD and SOA on Oracle VM hosted machine

We have SOA servers's for testing that contains a compact domain , with SOA,B2b,OSB,MFT,ESS,UMS are installed in single domain.

Recently we purchased 500GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD to move these Oracle VM images from HDD to SSD 

And these are the startup times with SSD and HDD , SSD are almost more then 200% faster , we captured the start time

and endTime when the soa server completely comes up

SOA 12.2.1.3 ON SSD

start time : 12:34:24 , End Time : 12:38:04  (4 minutes)

second test

start time :  12:59:22  end time :13:04:34 (5 minutes)

with HDD 

start time :   12:42:20 end time : 12:52:07 (10 minutes)

SOA 12.2.1.2 version

start time :   13:09:10 endTime 13:13:12 (4 minutes)

start time :   14:14:47 endTime 14:18:52 (4 minutes)
