> Hi Len,
> Thanks for the compliment! I will email you my spreadsheet (and anyone else that asks). It's not the prettiest format, but has 2 examples. The first takes a 64 GB drive and writes continuosly at the inputted rate. For write endurance I used 2 million, but the figures I see are anywhere from 1-5 million. The decision to classify drives as 100,000 writes is more a quality assurance decision not a technical one. AMD was selling million lifetime flash back in 1998! The second example is more elaborate and has some details that will be drive and partition specific, but I used typical values. I have tried to bold the items you can change, and have shown most of the conversions (I was trained as a chemist so those that know what factor labeling is will appreciate the layout), but again, not the prettiest. These are pretty silly calculations as no database I know of, except maybe Google or Facebook, can sustain that level of throughput. For us lowly ERP users, we will never hammer on these drives that hard.

I saw an article on Fusion's site with throughput of over 1 terabyte per second using a relatively small datacenter. The same throughput on a conventional SAN setup would have required something like 55,000 spindles. There's a snippet here http://www.tomshardware.com/news/fusion-io-iodrive-octal-1tb,9140.html <http://www.tomshardware.com/news/fusion-io-iodrive-octal-1tb,9140.html>
