the simple truth is SSD drives are fast, and it will/might be the future but mail people are conservative ( you might think about the hell loosing mail ), at present SSD drives tec is not ready for serving big mail stores. ( my opinion ) tec time is turning fast, so in whatever time we might all use only SSD drives then ,or not, we will see after all its not really a dovecot theme wich should lead to endless flames on this list -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria
