Mike Ault is now working for a company that makes Solid State Disks and has some thoughts in this posting about how the market changes, but perception often hangs a step or two back. Thus people remember that SSDs were hideously expensive in the past but they aren't that way now. I looked at SSDs for several customers some years ago, and my main concern with the technology today is still the same, can you get the same reliability as conventional disks? I know that SSDs have their own battery backup, etc., but are they really at the point to use in mainline data storage, or more of a specialized high speed disk for redo logs (a common use in the past for clients with brutally high transaction rates)?
