[Opensim-dev] Will an SSD drive make OS any faster?

[David Kaplan]

I'm getting ready to build a box specifically to run bunch of HG OS 
regions. The box will likely have no other purpose. It's not going to be 
expensive... I'm basically going to pour my money into a nice quad core 
CPU and RAM. But, I wanted to know if anyone here has any experience 
running OS using a high speed drive such as Seagate's Cheetah or SSDs. 
I'm really interested to hear if anyone has any experience with SSDs as 
they seem to be the fastest in terms of retrieval and storage.

My theory is that OS is read/write intensive. Would a regular 7200 RPM 
drive create a bottleneck? If so, would and SSD drive help?

TYIA!
