Solid State Disk Interest Grows

Solid state disk is getting a bigger play in the enterprise. IDC released findings on their testing that reports the differential between SSD and traditional mechanical drives may not be all that the industry has made it out to be.
IDC claims that normal tests are between SSD devices and 4,200 RPM drives. IDC differed in that they tested 7,200 RPM drives – drives commonly used in enterprise storage — against SSD drives. They found that the differences in performance are nowhere near as great as vendors have said they are.
