Yeah, they replaced my 6 year old laptop to one with SSD. I went from a 5 minute boot to less than a minute. I used to be able to get a cup of coffee while I was waiting for the old one! :) I'm still leery about the MTBF so I'm planning on frequent backups.

I've been running 2008 R2 Hyper-V server on SSD for about a week now and all I can say is holy crap! The boot times (compared to the previous platter SATA drives) are insane. I had no idea a server OS could boot so fast! I haven't timed it, but I'd guess it's less than 10 seconds from the end of POST to me being able to RDP to it. My question is....for a 50-user production server which would be faster - SAS or SATA SSD for the OS? Something I find little discussion on in the controller architecture (SATA SSD's vs. SAS disks) and performance with varying levels concurrent client connections. SATA drives now have NCQ, does this negate/mitigate the traditional SCSI advantage?
