I asked Bryan about just loading it up with flash and it would work but would be very expensive. The STEC stuff isn't cheap :) I need to compute cost per iops on this stuff. If you can get a low $/IOPS then it's probably worth the extra cash. I def think we'll see something decent next year tough. There was discussion of a new Sun product but it was $50/GB and had 2TB of storage. At that price it's very cost prohibitive for a 250GB database :) .... so close now. Yeah.

Blog post coming soon... But it's really unbelievably amazing. As for more than 10K IOPS, you can add as many of the flash devices as you want, in theory, together to get beyond 10K... But the device you really want if you want to 100% flash is "just around the corner." Next year, for sure. I have one of these (S7410) in production now and it *rocks*.
