Hemant, I believe there was an article in IOUG's SELECT Journal (last year?) about Solid State disks being used with Oracle databases. You can look for this link at the IOUG site (http://www.ioug.org) John Kanagaraj -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hemant K Chitale Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 3:20 PM To: Oracle-L Subject: Solid State Disks for Databases Has anyone used or tested Solid State Disks for Databases ? http://www.soliddata.com/cgi-bin/whitepaper.asp?wp=13 The paper seems to indicate that Solid State Disks are now well on the way to acceptance. I have been asked to consider if we should look at this technology for High I/O databases {first identify databases with very high I/O rates}.
