Take care to understand that SSD covers several vintages of "flash" as well as other much faster storage technologies. I don't question Guy's numbers regarding a certain vintage of flash storage. But do not paint all SSD with that brush. Flash SSD is a kind of SSD. Not all SSD is Flash, and within the Flash category there are wide variances in write throughput.

You should check this white paper by Guy Harrison - http://www.quest.com/Quest_Site_Assets/WhitePapers/Best_Practices_for_Optimi zing_Oracle_RDBMS_with_Solid_State_Disk-final.pdf . It is an excellent document with lots of empirical data.

does anyone use SSDs professionally? Projects with large budgets have large expenses, so you would need alot of SSDs. I would think they are still really expensive. I don't know how the professional grade SSDs compare to the professional grade hard drives in cost either. Can you plug these into a SAN?
I would think this is too expensive to use. I also don't know how much it would help given that most anything that has any kind of volume is on some kind of networked storage and that has alot of features on top of the hard drives to help with performance.
