Hardware

Hey all,

I'm looking to add a couple of SSDs to a Sun T2000, so I can use Veritas Volume Manager to mirror an existing volume onto the SSDs, and set the read preference to the SSDs, to speed up a database application.

I'd like to not have to trial and error test a variety of SSDs, and am wondering if anyone has successfully installed a 2.5 inch SSD into the 4 onboard drive slots in a T2000, and if so, what brand?

I'm hoping that a standard SATA SSD drive fitted into a drive enclosure would work.

I need roughly a pair of 256gb drives, and there are a number of vendors to choose from (OCZ, Samsung, Crucial, etc. etc)

Any pointers? I can seem to find much info about 2.5 inch SSD drives in Sparcs under Solaris out on the web.
