Why not RAM? Build a box w/256G or more, and keep them all in tmpfs during operation. (ditch Solaris. It was cool once, but...)
Copy them up into tmpfs on boot, then cron an rsync to disk between polling or even occasionally, depending on pain tolerance.
-C
Hmm, well, I could only steal a machine with 64GB of RAM this time, but ZFS + SSD cache + regular spindles sounds cleaner that rsync of 150GB every 2 hours..
