Dear FreeBSD Hardware, I've got a machine with a small database (~100MB max) that is I/O bound. I need the database to be on-disk transactional, so nothing is lost when catastrophy strikes. I've been looking at those IDE flash disks. Big enough to suit my needs. Most important: no arm to swing, so seek time is rock bottom. http://www.web-tronics.com/webtronics/ideflasdison.html All nice, but the transfer rate is only 16.7MB/s max. Seems to me that these little suckers should be available at IDE max speeds, right? I mean, my Maxtors stow away some 27MB/s, according to bonnie.

It's not as good at words as radio is because the pictures are a distraction which demand attention, and it's not as good as cinema because the pictures are not nearly as good.
