OCZ's Revodrive give a lot more bang/$ than fusion IO IMO. My 240GB card does over 100,000 IOPS (or >700MB/s read/write) and it's less than $500 now. Their newest card doubles that rate (but costs ~$800 for 240GB).
As for the alarmism, yes, this was fairly well debunked years ago here: http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html short answer: 51 years before failure in a worst-case write pattern. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
