If RAM gets tight, I found out that a SSD with swap configured on it makes life
*much* more liveable ... it's night and day for that machine. I don't care
about the life time ... in 3 or 4 years the SSD will get replaced anyway.
But I digress.
Basically, the Isilon is the kind of hardware really helping out in network
environments, but as Sven pointed out, it's really not cheap.
Which reminds me I wanted to look up the price for 24 GiB RAM to replace the
12 I have now at home ...
