Beg to differ. The question was, will DRBD pair of SSDs, when replicated with protocol C, match the performance of a single standalone SATA drive. And at least in terms of throughput, you bet it will. A single SATA drive would sustain 50-60MB/s streaming writes max, and that should _definitely_ be doable with a protocol C replicated pair of SSDs. And latency wise, Lars has already given his view on that which I agree with, so I don't need to rehash. > I'm using drbd in primary/primary mode to host KVM images on a two node > cluster.

I'm almost certain you're failing to provide some crucial piece of information here. We have customers on 8.3 happily replicating in excess of 300MB/s. That's on Infiniband hardware, but 10G is also certainly capable of going faster than 110MB/s. Just my €0.02.
