Best of luck to you SkepticOverlord. I joined eBay way back in 1996 and saw them proceed through numerous upgrades and lots of downtime. I was so frustrated with the "slow to no site", at the very time when I had an item ending in an auction. Loosing bidders and money made me quit using the site several times...but I always came back. Growing pains are painful, but not so painful as failure. Stay cool!

Would be interesting to know how the SSD are working out, as my time is approaching for the upgrade, would also be good to hear and possible down sides.

So far, very good.

As an example, table maintenance on our full database previously took over 30 minutes on RAID-10 15k RPM hard drives. On the SSD's, it completed in less than five minutes.

The speed of response has also ended up significantly reducing the overall CPU load on our cluster of web servers as the scripts now have literally no wait-time with queries and writes.

Is the read/write true to what they claim, 600+- and 300+-. Also have you noticed a drop in power consumption.

It seems like we're in that zone. And not having access to the physical machines, I can comment on power consumption.
