For context I have 16 Gig's of of RAM and 4 Cores ~3.Ghz.

Are  SSD write times comparable with SAS? I wasn't aware of that. I'll
take a look.

Here's what iostat told me during one recent bit of misery. When I see
nearly 30K Blks_wrtn/s is it
reasonable to conclude that 30K * 4092 (ext 3 blk size) 122.8 m bytes
sec? That seems pretty high. Am I crazy?
