Key thing is, it out performed mechanical hard drives with all the benifits that come with using solid state drives such as low power consumption, mechanical shocks tollerance and ease of deployment. You can find all the technical details explained way better than I can explain it in this video.
The Peoplesoft Payroll application is I/O latency sensitive. That is the performance of this workload hinges on the reducing the response time of physical I/Os, primarily single block reads. This can be easily seen by from the 'Top 5 Timed Foreground Events' section of the Oracle AWR Report.
