Hi,

I have a dual xeon 64GB 1U server with two free 3.5" drive slots. I also
have a free PCI-E slot.

I''m going to run a postgress database with a business intelligence
application.

The database size is not really set. It will be between 250-500GB
running on Solaris 10 or b134.

My storage choices are

   1. OCZ Z-Drive R2 which fits in a 1U PCI slot. The docs say it has a
      raid controller built in. I don''t know if that can be disabled.
   2. Mirrored OCZ Talos C Series 3.5" SAS
      <http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/solid-state-drives/sas.html>
drives.
   3. Mirrored OCZ SATA II 3.5"

      drives.

I''m looking for comments on the above drives or recommendations on
other
affordable drives running in a pure SSD pool.

Also what drives do you run as a pure SSD pool?

Thanks
Karl
