SSD vs. HDD Performance

[Stephen]

I have done some real work on SSD and their performance is great Seek
times are non existent, throughput is about as good as the interface
gets.

but note if you do allot of disk read write they will fail sooner than
a regular HDD it is simply a wearing factor of the media.

The algorithms and the like built in are very good so you will likely
get a decent life from the drive.

the only 2 tests i have done on them personally were Web IO and DB IO
and they were about 10x as fast as a SATA 2 hdd overall (2 drive
mirror on a highpoint 3210)

I find Raid 0 gained me more performance with less money (or raid 10
if you want the redundancy) over a single drive.
