Re: SSD Best practices

[Gqcy <gmufasa01@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wondered that too.
I thought that high usage logical access paths would be in main storage...
and then having the high usage physical data either in main storage or 
SSD would be the next target...


having said that...
we have seen benchmarks of SDD vs. HDD or having a mix.
But, has anyone done a benchmark of  physical disk to main storage 
(SETOBJACC) versus  setting the object to SDD?

if I would have, for example,  32GB main storage and 2TB of disk
What would be be better bang for the buck:

I could upgrade my main storage to 128GB or 256GB for the same price
I could get 512GB of SDD???
