I've got a server in my lab we use for benchmarking and testing that has
a 20 disk raid10 of 15k 150gb SAS2 drives. is faaassssst. I don't
remember the IOPS numbers off the top of my head but 4 SSD's in a raid0
were only a little bit faster at heavy OLTP small transaction
write-intensive operations.
