Hmm, I was thinking that until I read this blog post by one of the kernel filesystem developers (Val Henson from Intel) who had some (possibly Apple specific) concerns about data corruption & reliability and why she still chooses spinning disks over SSD. http://valhenson.livejournal.com/25228.html This is one of the reasons I'm *really* interested to get btrfs going on my Dell E4200 which has a 128GB SSD, data checksums (and duplicate copies of data) are good.. cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.
