32GB SSD Options for Sun Fire X4150 and X4450 [21523]
Also 300GB SAS Disk Options for Sun Fire X4150, X4250, and X4450
32GB solid state drives (SSDs) are now available for the Sun Fire X4150 and X4450 servers, while a new 300GB SAS disk option is now offered and supported in the Sun Fire X4150, X4250, and X4450 servers. A single SSD delivers the IOPS of 100 hard disk drives while it consumes less than 1/500 the power of hard disk drives (assuming same random I/O performance). However, hard disk drives still hold the lead in raw capacity. Sun gives its customers the choice.
