@closetnoc can you clarify this plz: "SSDs are generally fast though this is clearly not a raid which would be better if you could swing it. "
Do you mean changing it to RAID would be better? Or have I misunderstood what you said? For the above server specs, the options I have for storage is "2 X 120GB SSD drive " or "2x 500GB Enterprise SATA Drives (RAID 1)". I thought SSD might be better than the SATA option based on what I've read on the internet. Am I mistaken?
