Re: 1 TB of memory

The US Dept of Homeland Security has at least two =10=TB SSDs.
<begin speculation>
Rumor is they are being used for Carnivore or an offshoot/descendent of Carnivore.
<end speculation>

Good luck getting them to give you benchmark data.

You need >deep< pockets to afford >= 1TB of SSD.
(...and as the example shows, perhaps more money than sense.)
