So yeah, even the slower, cheaper S3500 SSDs are way fast. If your write workload isn't too high, the S3500 can work well. We'll see how the SMART drive lifetime numbers do once we get into production, but right now we estimate they should last at least 5 years and from what we've seen it seems that SSDs seem to wear much better than expected. If not, we'll pony up and go for the S3700 or perhaps move the xlog back on to spinning disks.
an important thing in getting decent wear leveling life with SSDs is to keep them under about 70% full.
