Solid State Drives

I agree that SSD's are going to change computing, especially web servers, in a huge way.

However I would be willing to bet that Google's "large quantities of inexpensive machines" philosophy means they have not yet made the switch to SSD.

No doubt they will start plugging them in when prices come down some more, but for the moment I suspect their HDs are still spinning.
