Those intel SSDs sound compelling. I've been waiting for SSDs to get
competitive price and performance wise for a while, and when the
intels came out and I read the first benchmarks I immediately began
scheming. Sadly, that was right after we're ordered our new 16 drive
servers, and I didn't have time to try something new and hope it would
work. Now that the servers are up and running, we'll probably look at
adding the SSDs next summer before our high load period begins.
