How Solid State Drives Can Help SQL Server
A hard drive is a hard drive, right? Storage has come a long way, but is probably still the biggest bottleneck in your system. Solid State Drives (ssd) have changed the rules in terms of performance and there is new technology on the horizon to allow us to access our data even faster.
I talk with Justin Strong and Ananda Sankaran from Micron Technologies about their experiences with SSD and how organizations are using in their environments. We also chat about some of the new technologies on the horizon for Micron.
