It's not about budget - it's about performance :-) The WHS can stay on mechanical drives - it gobbles up space. But my ISA Server, and my DCs etc - they don't use a lot of space, and putting them onto an SSD in my server makes sense I think.
I'm also definately pricing up 64GB or 128GB SSDs for all my other machines (for at least the OS/apps partition). Data (at least on the desktops) can stay on a mechanical drive (which WHS can backup) Cheers Ken ________________________________________ From: Erik Goldoff [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 5 November 2009 4:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Home Servers Maybe great, but not for the budget conscious ..

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.
