Storage Computer has a full product range of these solid state disk accelerators. See the Vermont SSD section of the WWW server, http://www.storage.com/. People who are involved with big databases really need to consider benchmarking RAID 5 versus RAID 7 with their particular configurations, and measure those response times.
