And I presume you can partition an SSD into multiple logical drives without the major performance hit of read/write head thrashing

Anyone remember RAM drives? You're literally putting the whole OS on one. Sorta.

A 30 GB SSD costs more than a consumer 1.5 TB SATA drive Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security -----Original Message----- From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 10:57 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Home Servers I've just decided that I need to get current gen SSDs for just about everything I can. I bought an OCZ Vertex (Indilinx controller) last weekend, and this thing is awesome (compared to mechanical disk, and earlier SSDs that I've had). My next mission to upgrade the server to SSDs for all the VMs except the WHS, and start upgrading all my machines. SSDs rock - booting Windows in <15 seconds, and opening Outlook in 2 seconds is just addictive.
