The truth about MapReduce performance on SSDs by @yanpeichen and @kashkamb via @radar

It is well-known that solid-state drives (SSDs) are fast and expensive. But exactly how much faster — and more expensive — are they than the hard disk drives (HDDs) they're supposed to replace? And does anything change for big data?

Great article by Yanpei and Karthik where they show that the cost-per-performance is approaching parity with HDDs.
