Move to Mac?

Keep an eye on the logs Rolf - I'd be very interested to see how the drive goes. I still won't use one for critical file or web server duties yet. 2MHr MTBF - I take it that's referring to total drive failure. This is only around four times the average MTBF figures listed for normal hard disks, which you'd expect because of their lack of moving parts. Still, I'm keen to watch their progress over the next couple of years.

Highly-configured Mac Pro systems come with an option of four 512Gb SSD drives as either individual volumes or in a raid configuration. They get away with it because paging is minimised via the employment of up to 32Gb of RAM as stated.

4x512gb ssd drives would cost more than my car they are like $2.5K each.

Give them a chance, get them into laptops first which is where the big difference will be seen. It's stupid to concider them for mission critical stuff at this stage. Stick to 15K sas drives.

Oh yeah, Apple sucks, Linux rulz

They're AU$1,800 each over and above the cost of the standard 1Tb drives Robin.
