Alen,

i would like to see a test comparing SSD's with a MSA 70 full of RAID1 volumes instead of RAID10.

If I get the time and can free up an MSA I'll see if I can cut up our DB and give it a try.

On the EMC/SAN thing. You do get lots of perks but you do pay for them. If you are looking for speed and are pricing $/IO or $/GB the Fusion-IO expander chasis starts looking real good.

Nadrek,

I didn't simulate a failure scenario since we weren't able to completely finish our testing cycle.
