The limiting factor in response speed is the disk drive. A new SSD called the Xcelerator (http://www.seek.com) is a hot-file processor that can speed up response time by a factor of up to 50!

This unit has up to 1GB of Write-Back ECC memory, and is partionable into protected and normal space. Sophisticated proprietary algorithms control the adaptive caching and memory management functions.

Locate your 'hot-files' (indexes, temp space, etc.) in protected space and you'll process them at near instantaneous speeds. Without this, your system can easily become I/O bound very quickly. Received on Sat Jun 22 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
