After some further looking the cheapest PCIe-attached SSD with real power loss protection that I've found is this Intel model a little over $300: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/data-center-ssds/dc-p3520-series/dc-p3520-450gb-2-5inch-3d1.html Kinda ridiculous to buy a 450 gig drive mainly so I can put a half-gig journal on it. It might turn out to be best for my case just to RAID a couple of those SSDs and skip the conventional drives completely. --b. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
