I just installed XenServer 6.0.2 on my 2 beefy lab servers because ESXi refused 
to install on them [1].  One is SATA HDs only and the other has 2 SSDs and one 
SATA HD.  Installing on the SSD took less than 2 minutes.  Installing on the 
SATA HD took almost 10 minutes.  That one server is the only lab server I have 
that does not have an SSD.  Me thinks my employer should be ashamed by having a 
server without an SSD. :)

1.       The ESXi 5 installer kept giving an error that the drives were not 
empty even though gparted was used to delete all existing partitions and showed 
nothing existed on any of the 4 drives in the server.  That server originally 
housed Hyper-V v2.  When I installed XenServer, it detected an existing LVM 
partition and offered to delete it.  Just curious why gparted left something 
hanging around?

Well the Neo's _ARE_ beefier than an Atom from a horsepower perspective, as 
well as supporting VT extensions...

I certainly agree on the SSD's however. I can tell a pretty dramatic difference 
with unit I have.
