Re: SSDs with Postgresql?

After a glowing review at AnandTech (including DB benchmarks!) I decided to spring for an OCX Vertex 3 Pro 120 for evaluation purposes. It cost about $300 with shipping, etc and at this point, won't be putting any

Considering that I sprang for 96 GB of ECC RAM last spring for around $5000, even if I put the OCX drives in pairs w/RAID1, I'd still come out well ahead if it allows me to put off buying more servers for a year or two.
