That is a shame about the solid state drives - I didn't know anything about the write limitations. It seems to me that would be a big boon to using them. Unfortunately, it seems we will have to wait a bit longer for that technology to integrate itself into practical computing solutions.I’d like to hear it too.

I know Thinkpads with SSD have an awesome configuration tool to manage which of your programs are installed to the magnetic drive and which to the smaller SSD. This means that you can put frequently run programs on the SSD for lightning fast execution.
I would assume a SSD provide lower power consumption, less noise and a faster response (even though harddrive is probably not the bottleneck) on your server... is this correct?
You should list the specs of the machine you're working on setting up... I'd be interested for sure.Interesting to know about SSDs… I don’t know anything about them hardly.
