I'd think that with SSD mdbox would make less sense, since fragmentation isn't so much of a problem with SSDs. I've no benchmarks, but I wouldn't be surprised if sdbox performance was faster. In any case mdbox requires an extra index file that sdbox doesn't, which also increases disk writes.

I didn't realize that sdbox would be faster in that scenario. Maybe this has already been covered but is mdbox generally slower than sdbox or is that just in this scenario. Thanks for your response.
