Guys, after a little advice please. What is the fastest possible storage for networked data access? We would need about 6TB worth so would it be setting up SSD's raided or is there anything faster available? Price point is pretty much immaterial to be honest. What kind if suggestions could you come up with? Cheers!

Thanks for the reply guys. Basically we have a highend 3D application installed on a tasty HP server (256gb RAM and 32 CPU) which we want to share out to upto 20 concurrent users from a Windows Terminal Server via Citrix. The application is flat file and does not support multi threading yet. The application is very chatty with the database do we are thing of having the storage directly on the server to help speed things up. Previously we have/had the application installed local on the machines and accessed the projects over the (1gb) network but the performance of the application has been poor. The main reasons we the latency between the app and the networked project, poor data model and volumes of data we use. It is quite normal for a user to be working in data sized in the region of 20Gb so pulling all of that up and down really slows down performance. Also as it stands the application uses Sqlite as the method for controlling multi user access which is poor. We are looking at maybe moving to mysql but that is sometime off.
Hope that makes sense and look forward to more suggestions. Cheers
