Subject: Upgrade to SSD HD servers? Thu Oct 14, 2010 4:41 pm
PlugPayPlay is offering an upgrade to SSD powered servers.
Here's the promo video they linked to show what SSD's can do...
They don't have official costs yet, but we can send them a ticket to be one of the firsts to upgrade. I'm not sure how much more expensive it'll be for us (obviously, the SSD's themselves are pretty expensive) but it will mean getting less problems from maintenance, defragging, and all that stuff.
To me, it's a tempting offer, I'm just waiting on a cost for the upgrade...

This is very, very impressive and I'm absolutely blown away. The question is, can we afford it when we hear the price, and if so, do we need it?

I'm also thinking about the 'do we need it' part. If I had to come down on a decision, it would be: no, this is not a necessary upgrade, but we'd still see some improvement.
Also, PlugPayPlay has been very reasonable with its prices.... 15$ for a 20 slot server of good or better quality is already one of the best prices out there. If the price doesn't raise by more than $4, I'd consider it.
