Intel sells a 20GB SLC flash drive, the 311, which goes for around $115 online: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-311-series.html.html Haven't tried one yet, but the SLC flash would likely be ideal in terms of longevity with a write-heavy ZIL workload. - Zack -- Zack Williams - Artisan Computer Services - 520.867.8701 [email protected] http://www.artisancomputer.com Apple Certified System Administrator, Apple Consultants Network Microsoft Certified Professional, Small Business Specialist Sun Certified System Administrator Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
