If you are planning to do anything where I/O latency will have you gritting your teeth and pulling out hair, pay for the SSDs. For example, streaming can stutter when I/O bound. My virtual machines lock up for a second or so when I/O bound as well. But if you're just planning to do something like a file server or web server, you probably won't notice a little I/O latency and SSDs aren't absolutely necessary. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
