Poll: What options would you like in an SSD based Cloud Host

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

EC2's hard drives are really, really slow. A crappy Solid State drive I bought for $150 2 years a go is 50x faster than the fastest EC2 hard drive. Shit's gotta change.
Why spend weeks optimizing my DB and SQL queries when an SSD gets me a 50x speed boost. To me it's a no brainer.

I'm talking to the CTO/Founder of a kick ass web host about offering an SSD based option to their service plan. If we get enough interest, we'll be able to offer a Hackers & Founders discount to everyone below.

This web host already has on demand, scriptable cloud hosting ( just like EC2 ), and on top of that, scriptable, on demand, dedicated, single tenant server options, which rocks.

But, I need to tell them what Hacker/Founders want in an SSD based system.

So, can you take 3 minutes and fill out this form.
