title: TPC or other DB benchmarks for SSD drives
body: <p>I have been interested in SSD drives for quite sometime. I do a lot of work with databases, and I've been quite interested to find benchmarks such as TPC-H performed with and without SSD drives.</p>
  
  <p>On the outside it sounds like there would be one, but unfortunately I have not been able to find one. The closest I've found to an answer was the first comment in this blog post.</p>

  <p>The fellow who wrote it seemed to be a pretty big naysayer when it came to SSD technology in the enterprise, due to a claim of lack of performance with mixed read/write workloads.</p>
  
  <p>There have been other benchmarks such as 
  <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3531&amp;p=25" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>
  and
  <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-x25-e-ssd,2158-5.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>
  that show absolutely ridiculous numbers.  While I don't doubt them, I am curious if what said commenter in the first link said was in fact true.</p>
  
  <p>Anyways, if anybody can find benchmarks done with DBs on SSDs that would be excellent.</p>
