I just bought a little server for Hyper-V and bought it with an 80GB SSD. I verified with MBS that the 80GB would be fine. I originally specced it out with a 40GB. My minimum partition size for 2008 R2 is 40GB so the 80GB gives more breathing room and it not much more in price than a 40GB.

It came with two 40GB SATA drives. Any reason I shouldn't use a single 40GB SSD drive for the OS and regular (and much bigger) SATA drives? Would the SSD speed be kind of wasted on server core? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
