I'm wondering if you did (or anyone has done) any cost effectiveness on using SSD's rather than HD's. (Or maybe that's an order-of-magnitude too low to consider

- jcampbell1 14y agoI can't imagine that SSDs would make any difference for web app servers. I am not familiar with app servers workload that uses a material amount of disk I/O. That being said, if I built custom app servers, I'd use SSDs because the cost is small for a system that doesn't need much storage.
