Yeah, at this point, the only place I'd consider using an SSD in production is as a tablespace for indexes. Their win is huge for random IO, and indexes can always be rebuilt. Data, not so much. Transaction logs, even less. rls -- :wq -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
