But Enterprise quality SSD's are so expensive. I can get an additional

Whether you consider it "enterprise" quality or not, it's Intel, and it ain't
gonna fail. If I was running an MX farm that needed maximum performance, I'd
already have one of these in each server, many months ago. ;)
The Intel X25-E series is enterprise-grade. The 64G model
sells for $700~$800. Quite a bit more expensive than the
consumer X25-M series, but better suited for server use, and
still far less than a decent server.
Can't say for sure without testing, but I wouldn't be
surprised if the SSD is faster than two servers sharing the load.
