It's a price performance issue: I think the 32GB 2.5" Mtron is in the $1K area, so you'd need about 15 of those + some carriers and controllers. Call it $20K in total. For that you get a compact disk system with virtually no seek-time, a power dissipation of around 40W and no disk-crashes. I know people who nearly cry when they realize that is possible :-) Poul-Henning -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
