But they require special controllers or suitable software RAID for this to make sense. Ordinary RAID controllers were designed with relatively slow access times and will often perform badly with SSDs. However, if throughput is your goal, conventional HDDs may perform similar, at a fraction of the cost. Incidentially, I have a HDD/SSD RAID1 running under Linux software RAID, with the HDDs set to be typically only written. Gives SSD read speeds in practive and HDD write speeds. Perfect for my application and even better than different brand HDDs in a RAID1 for added reliability. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.

Was all the software/firmware commonly available, or did you author some of it yourself? Care to share pointers with others here who might want to do the same or similar? *TimDaniels*
