Hello fellow DBA's,

I've read a article from Burleson where he's an enthusiast about solid state disks:

" It's important for all Oracle professionals to learn about solidstate
disk to understand how I/O bottlenecks will soon become a thing of the past. "

and

"The ancient platter-based disks from the 1960's will soon join paper tape and punched cards in the annals of IT history. "

" In my reproducible benchmarks of SSD vs. platter disks, the response
time benefits of using SSD with Oracle are amazing with blistering speeds that result in up to a 300x speed improvement. "

He doesn't mention any drawback to this SSD. Does anyone here has experience with this SSD , and is it as big as mr Burleson says?

TIA,
