Ok, so it sounds like SSD have limitations on even being setup as shared
devices. I guess that makes sense as I think about it in more detail now.
Local HDs aren't easily sharable either so now I'm thinking my premise may be
in error to begin with.
The SSDs wouldn't be coming from an array. It would probably take an ugly hack
to get the servers to see the SSD devices on each host and have them
read/writeable from any host in the cluster. So, not really a good option
there then.

Ok, so if you're on 10g then Database Smart Flash Cache is out of the question
- it was introduced in 11gR2. If the SSDs are set up as drives in a storage
array, then they might be sharable - but we've seen several "all flash" arrays
from various storage vendors, none of which can be mounted as shared storage,
so you should check to be sure the SSDs are truly share-able, and that there
aren't sneaky performance bottlenecks hiding in the storage controllers etc...KJ
