Seems strange though for them to disappear off the radar when SSD related information is becoming so prevalent. That could just be an effect of all the noise around the non-Enterprise grade SSD's floating around though. -- Brad Nicholson 416-673-4106 Database Administrator, Afilias Canada Corp.

According to a buddy of mine they're mostly only resold by Sun and EMC in their own products. Of course what I'm really looking for are postive stories about them surviving power plug pulls without corrupting the database.
Hello, >>> Anybody on the list have any experience with these drives? They get >>> good numbers but I can't find diddly on them on the internet for the >>> last year or so. >>> >>> http://www.stec-inc.com/product/zeusiops.php Most of the storage vendors (I have confirmation from EMC and HP) use those in their SAN boxes. I believe that is because they are the only SLC SSD makers that have supercapacitors on the SSD drive which allows them to run with write cache enabled. As a side effect - they are insanely expensive. :) Mindaugas
