Solid-State-Disk. They have some amazing write rates. Much faster than anything a traditional disk can do. And they have their own power backup and offline storage to disk.

Capacity is not large enough for datafiles but is plenty for redo. -- Cheers Nuno Souto nsouto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe - mailto:oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx&subject=unsubscribe To search the archives - //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/
