Was wondering if anyone has considered or made use of speed advantages of solid 
state drives (SSD) for serving decoded ldm data to gempak, garp, and too-be 
AWIPS2 processes running on network clients? 

-- particularly in the classroom environment where visualization tools from 20+ 
network clients are hitting the same $GEMDATA/models/<model> collection at the 
same time. 

When would SSDs be worthwhile?  If the (NFS) clients are on a 100 Mbps subnet 
and server is on separate 1000 Mbps subnet, is the network the bottleneck, 
leaving modern drives or SSDs of negligible difference?
