I may have spoke too soon on this -- the 720 is a pci-e device...spec details are just now leaking out (see: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/16/intels-710-lyndonville-and-720-ramsdale-ssds-see-full-spec/). 512mb onboard dram and "56k" write iops, and probably stupid expensive. The 710 is a standard sata device with 2.4k claimed write iops, using "HET" MLC about which there is zero information available. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
