Improving SSAS performance with SSD Drives

  • Hi does anyone have experience implementing solid state drives to improve Analysis Services cube performance. In particular we are interested in improving the performance of discount count measures in our cubes.

    How would everyone utilize the drives? The database files as well as the OLAP database files on the SSD drives?

  • BUMP.

    This is something I have been wondering about.

    A Mirrored and Stripped array, 4 disks plus (2 striped and then mirrored) could achieve 170mbps per disk write and 200mbps read per disk. Now we have a SAN but I doubt it could compete on cost with those stats. OUr SAN disk is prohibitively expensive and I wonder if these may prove a cost effective solution, in an external NAS or other array that could be utilised by a cluster.
