Enabling SSD cache on SoftLayer Bare Metal Servers

The official SoftLayer blog recently did an article on using 1 or 2 SSD drives in a bare metal that use all SATA drives to considerably boost IOPS.  It highlights that using just SATA you will not get great speeds, but adding a couple of SSD’s can see improvements from 970 IOPS to 9000 IOPS.  Please check this out.
