Keep the database on an SSD. I put mine on a HDD and it corrupted.

That seems very odd to me, and a very serious bug, no? 🤨 I feel like the storage medium shouldn’t matter as long as it can keep up with data throughput (or eventually keep up, with some help with buffering via the kernel or some other mechanism).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I put it on a larger HDD because my SSD was running out of space and it corrupted about a week later.

Nothing to do with it being an hdd.

Millions of database have run on hdds for decades just fine. They didn’t know what they’re talking about.
