I have yet to find a anyone that will assert what the write-cycles these new devices will handle. Our DB is very high write and read load, and I have no idea how long the SSDs would last. They are still too expensive for me to buy them to do this experiment. I certainly hope you have good backups for when your SSD does finally croak. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
