Hi,

Does anyone have experience using Durus on a high-end SSD like
those made by Intel or OCZ?  If so, do you think it improves
performance and what is your environment?

We are launching a new service that will likely have a fairly high
write rate and quite a few DB clients.  Also, the DB will likely not
fit into RAM.  I expect that could a situation were a good SSD could
help performance.

Most of my previous experience is with Durus DBs where the working
set fits into the kernel page cache and the write rate is low.  In
that case, I think the speed of the disc drive is not very important
(part of the genius of the ZODB/Durus design, IMHO).
