2145.0. "Solid-State Disks and SDAFs" by MIMS::BEKELE_D (My Opinions are MINE, MINE, all MINE!) Sat Jan 23 1993 21:03

    Would some please tell me if the ESE5x solid-state disks 
    are deemed to be suitable for SDAFs?  Is there any reason 
    for not recommending to have SDAFs put on ESE20s other 
    than size?
    
    Thanks,
    Dan

	Dan, The only reasons we did not explicitly recommend putting SDAF on solid state disks is the cost of the SSD, and the size of the SDAF w.r.t. the SSD. Marc BTW: In other applications, we have actually used stripe sets of SSDs to achieve peak I/O throughput. Has anyone ever done this with SDAF?
