Malcolm, I have 2 x Samsung 256 SSD drives, one here at work and one in my laptop at home and they really kick ass so to speak.
They are Model 470 drives which have now been superseded by the SSD 830 models and reliability more than speed was what I was looking at. I found a review of the new 830 drives here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4863/the-samsung-ssd-830-review Dave -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Malcolm Greene Sent: 26 April 2012 21:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Recommendations for SSD drives for databases (Re: [NF] Taking advantage of memory beyond 3.5 GB ...)

Would you recommend this product/model or another based on your experience so far? Thanks!
