OK, early days yet to have a big db on solid state drives . . .
. . . but how about online redo logs? We want small, fast, independant and (preferably) cheap drives:
[wild idea] USB2 is claiming up to 400 Mbits/s and you can get 128Mb memory sticks at $50-100 with a claimed transfer rate of 16Mbyte/s. Could we soon be using solid state for redo and control files? [/wild idea]
Can any hardware specialists tell me why it's not just around the corner?
Solid State!?
Everyone knows Tubes sound better.
Analog all the way baby!

I thought if I could get the redo on solid state the rest could go on 78rpm disks with fibre needles - and a horn, no tubes :)Quote:

Did you already read "Solid State Disks in an Oracle Environment" at http://www.oaktable.net ?
Hi Dave, thanks for the link.
No I'd not seen it. Gratifying to see Morle put redo at the top of the list. Interesting that he talks in terms of single SSD - I think be I'd be happier with redo multiplexed over two devices.
He is aiming a bit higher then me (apparently 4Gb at approx $70K). I am still wondering if the more modest hardware could be useful for those of us that don't work for the US govt!
