Hi Craig, Assuming it presents itself as a regular LUN to the OS, I don't think it would appear to operate any differently than a physical drive. I've always been extremely curious to try solid-state disks in a high-performance environment, so if anyone's used one of these, I'm dying to hear how it worked for you.
