Check out this great article by SQL Server guru @MrDenny

Title: Massive Speed and HA

Subtitle: Two Things That Usually Don’t Go Together

First Paragraph: Question: William asks “I have a SQL Server which needs both high availability and high-speed storage. Even SAN storage with SSD based hard drives isn’t providing the performance levels that we are looking for, while still getting the failover cluster HA solution that we need for our SQL Server 2008 R2 database?”
