http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT032V4SSD2 http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT032V4S... SSDs are now $51. I don't see this as an academic means of optimization; I see it as a practical business value. Why would I pay a developer to spend 8 hours on optimizations when I can pay a developer to spend 8 hours on features and bug fixes? Meanwhile, I can drop $50 today (as opposed to $200 8 days ago) and get SSDs for the database, web server, and two developer machines? If SSDs were down to $1 for 64 GB, would you still claim throwing hardware at the problem is an academic solution?
