Nope, the real solution is not to use hard disk at all anymore. I am eagerly
waiting for the time when SSDs are becoming reliable, cheap and fast enough
with enough capacity to be used as replacement. It shouldn't take that long
anymore.

Recent models offer 200+ mb/s speed. In 3-4 years I expect that most servers
come equipped with SSDs.
