Interesting data. Vendor specific at all? Or is it just in general, across the board? Well, even at a shorter 1 - 1.5 years, given the more than 2x increase in performance often seen (over 100x better IOPs in some cases), it can still be well worth the investment if the performance makes a difference to your bottom line (I suspect it can often reduce the amount of scale-out necessary). /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
