Just for the record: I didn't comment onthat one, since I sort of assumed that everybody could see that a blanket statement like that could never be universally true. Obviously, if your 100 requests are for DVD images, you have tough row to hoe when it comes to designing a disk subsystem, but for more reasonable loads, the above is patently wrong. And yes, if your're worried about diskperformance SSD is the way to go.
