SPARC, SCSI -> SATA?

I'm thinking about suggesting my boss to go for sata adapter and SSD, instead of buying new SCSI drives for SPARC.
out here, a brand new 70Gb SCSI drive is about 100euros, and 140Gb is 200eur! (for that price, one could probably buy the adapter.)

has anyone tried it?
how well do modern SSD drives handle frequent writing and swapping?

Well, SSD is fast but churn will wear it out. It's great for things not changing that you want fast access to. Of course, those things quickly get into RAM! Anand Tech has some very interesting writeups on SSD technology.
