So, if you were looking for a drive-away quote on a rack mount RedHat server with 8TB of SSD, 32GB of RAM, at least 16 cores, basically a single purpose box to hold a copy of a 6TB database so we can do selective extracts and reporting, and the operant word is "a whole lot faster than a Solaris box reading an EMC drive share" where would you go? <br />
<br />
I've just spend a rather unsatisfying half hour wandering through Dell's website, only to conclude that although I can find 2TB Samsung SSD drives for $600, by the time you buy their hot-plug drives you are staring at more like $2K a pop. <br />
<br />
So, we don't care about possible drive failure, 'cause it's a extract application anyway. <br />
