I'm not sure that designing for them is the best move. Hard drive space has been increasing at approximately the same speed as SSD drives. Hard drive speed has been going up too. While I would agree that SSD drives are within the 3 to 5 year future of common laptops, they are probably out much further for database servers. SSD is only marginally faster than hard drives.

We are making design decisions which assume very large amounts of RAM will be made available to the DB." RAM is the new disk, and it's hard to argue at $US70 for 4GB of ECC Registered DDR2 (ie server RAM). Curtis: ah, I wasn't aware that they'd released 64bit options. You do pay 4x as much for a 64bit EC2 instance, but you also get 4x the RAM (which is what Drizzle really wants) and CPU. There's an argument over 32bit vs 64bit at <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/303253/">LWN</a> (in an article about Flash 10).
