Thanks David, it is good to know this.
One of our team members suggested that the SSD also tend to be
wear out every 12-16 months. I was puzzled by that statement since
I never know if the RAM or other chip-based memory device would be
wear out electronically. That is another topic maybe.
Thanks,
Liyun

Anyone used the OWC (other world computing) SSD (6G) for RAID Array?
Any suggestions/recommendations on SSD based RAID on the market

Yes I do have budget issues. I also visited SSd page on Tom's hardware site
which was more than 8 months old.
I did not access the SSD market for a while. Yesterday one of our colleagues
sent me a link at OWC which indicated that their drives has writing speed
above 500MB
for some of their 6G SSD drives. I thought SSD was at 150MB usually therefore
this is very attractive to me for our app which pulls a high volume of
dataflow from
the central RAID.
one thing to watch out for with SSDs, most of them do not have good behavior
in the face of power failures. they all cache writes in ram on the disk and
most of them have no way of getting those writes to flash if the power fails.
