with SSDs, it's important to know WHAT you're getting, which is why I stated the type of SSD in my post... the X25-M performs at a total of 8600 I/O operations per second, whereas a 15krpm SAS drive can only perform 180 I/O operations per second...

So, please enter a citation where you see performance of a SAS drive outrunning a good solid SSD drive...
