hi guys,

Any idea what's the cost of the SAS drives now?

I am thinking of using SSD. Mushkin's 240GB (SandForce controller based) SSD cost about USD400+ only. The raid controller has to be something based on IOP348 1.2Ghz chip or faster to leverage on the SSD's performance, eg Adaptec 5805Z.

Is this price quite close to SAS drives?
