Agree with John and also add that if your READ queries or data model are not optimized then you could throw a TB of ram
atit and see no difference. You need to analyze your queries and find out WHY there's so much i/o. It sounds like
thrashto me...so you need to do some homework and get the behaviors sorted out, then it should become obvious what
needsfixing.
