[ale] what would YOU do with 24 SSD's?

[Jeff Lightner]

The big array vendors are offering SSDs but are saying one shouldn't use
them for everything - just hot spots.   EMC's DMX 4 has been suggested
with a mix of SSDs, Fibre and ATA drives aimed at specific performance
areas.

There was a presentation of an SSD on a card at AUUG a month or two ago.
They were pretty interesting and the beauty was you're system doesn't
have to be designed for SSD in drive bays since they're on a card.

great tech.

But I priced a Intel 160 GB SSD yesterday.  Worked out to almost $5K /
TB. (vs. $100 for a 1TB sata drive).

I can't justify that in a true raid / server setup.

I'm afraid it is going to for high-end laptops only for a while longer.
