Hi Marc,

You have no idea how much I would love to use SSDs for this. But the 
cost was simply not quite justified.

The price keeps coming down on them though - even now, 10 months after 
buying these servers, the cost would probably be low enough that we may 
have actually done so, but it was going to be about double the cost of 
the 15k drives at the time we priced them.

Next time, definitely... :)
