I went to purchase a dedicated hard-drive for my database; I wanted to get about 3TB of SDD, but I was told this sized drive doesn't exist in SDD form. If I want to use SDD for my database, I'm going to have to use a RAID 50, with 3 "mechanics" and 2 of something else, may have been called a platform, and I think the 2 are responsible for caching, and the other 3 are my actual hard-drive space, or something, I'm really not sure and have to look into this more. It's fairly expensive too, but anyway, do youse have any opinions on this? I'd like to have it scalable, if possible, as I don't think 3TB will be large enough, as I plan to have a LOT of hands.
