Will this little change help in overall efficiency of udma?

1) Using a Good SLC 120GB SSD as a boot drive
2) Make 4K Sector
3) Formattimg using 8KB /16 KB sector

For failing drives ,this may help to quickly back up f/w. I would like to take opinion of anyone tried this before.

I have my PC3000 UDMA & PC3000 Flash SSD & OS installed on a SSD.
All SA backups are go to the SSD but I store my DE (& PC3000 UDMA backup database) & PC3000 Flash SSD project files on my RAID5 setup.

and we were both thinking about this:

too bad, too damn expensive

and for sure will NEVER buy that silly piece.

Loki, it is really an ideal set up.

As far as i know

DB needs:

1- Processor
2- Memory

hdd here will not make a Big Diff. btw

and for your case here, i tried my DB in SSD and compared the time in both, found that very few sec. diff.
using I7 Extreme +4GB mem

doesn`t worth btw but nice to have.

It works & I'm happy with the setup. Not had any issues yet + I have redundancy & the regular backups I take
The SSD wont speed up the DR process but I have it for OS & generally running of applications etc
