I'd be grateful for comments on whether to go with a server with the A

E5620 Quad-Core / 4x 2.40GHz
LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i with BBU (6Gbps)

I presently have about 40 databases on an aging server which runs both
Postgresql and Apache. The databases presently consume about 20GB and I
expect them to be consuming around 40GB in a year or more if demand for
our services expand as we hope.
The present database is 2 x Quad core E5420 Xeon
We've used Raptors in production for a few years.
They've been about as reliable as you'd expect for hard
drives, with the additional excitement of a firmware bug
early on that led to data loss and considerable expense.
New machines deployed since November last year have 710 SSDs.
No problems
