Very much agree with this. Because SSD is fast doesn't make it suited for certain things, and a streaming sequential
100%write workload is one of them. I've worked with everything from local disk to high-end SAN and even at the high
endwe've always put any DB logs on spinning disk. RAID1 is generally sufficient. SSD is king for read heavy random
I/Oworkload.
