Poke a stick in my eye if ever this becomes the norm. Irresponsible commentary from a seasoned "professional". Not mention the little gotcha about ssd's - write endurance - whether you consider it a FUD or reality - it's not something to take lightly.

He forgets a basic rule of data (Murphy's law of databases):
Data will always expand to exceed the capacity of the available resources by at least 10%.

This mentality **in a database professional** completely escapes me. It brings to mind that I just "upgraded" my Blackberry to one that has 2x the CPU and 5x the RAM -- and still works just as bad as the one it replaced (if not worse).
Anyone from the Oracle camp advocating/predicting hardware-based "tuning"?
Rant over.
