I recently priced up new drives for a server at work. SSDs made more sense. Mirroring is essential for us as data loss is a big problem.
The price difference was not that great so it was hard to justify buying slower spinning disks. We were looking at high speed spinning disks vs SSDs. If you are looking at slower speed drives maybe the math works out a little differently.

- xupybd 4y agoYeah but the comparison for us was with 5400 rpm spin disks. I made the assumption that SSDs would always read faster.
