I guess it depends why you want SSDs. At 32Gb, we'll buy them on performance critical deliveries, as we can mitigate some of the cost of risk reduction. But I can see our hosting division wanting them, as they don't give them anything they need.

High performance disks make sense when you have middleware that needs local cache storage for hydration. Mind you, we'll probably find some new bottlenecks to replace the ones local I/O causes.

Twas ever thus.

PS you can't expect a new wizzy device to be cheap, where would capitalism be if everything went straight to commodity. I can't see Intel selling it's latest and fastest processors for $100, although, I expect they could.
