Best practices for storing the bitcoin blockchain?

Best practices for storing the bitcoin blockchain? I have a few questions. One, is an SSD a good option to store the bitcoin blockchain. To unpack that question more, historically, has the blockchain size kept pace with Moore's law in relation to SSD technology? Second, is a SAN drive array more appropriate to store bitcoin and other blockchains? I have done this before, it worked for my purpose as bitcoin is rather dynamic and slow compared to a typical database. The storage size is a clear upside. However, I wonder what is the impact with many big queries? http://ift.tt/2jWVJ1j
