<div class="moz-cite-prefix">"enterprise" is a nearly meaningless
buzzword, especially in the SSD drive space. <br>
<br>
Not SSD specific, but interesting info:

<br>
With rotational drives, some of them that are labeled "enterprise"
have different performance characteristics that are better suited
to sitting in a datacenter, feeding NAS 24x7.<br>
<br>
As far as space for OS only... how big is your OS install? I use
partitions as small as 10 GB for a basic webserver install...<br>
<br>
If you want reliability, buy a pair of 32 or 64 GB drives, put
them in a software raid, and call it done.<br>

I see. Perhaps "compound" is a better term for
it.<br>
<br>
</div>
I've been using the server now for my site and it's<br>
</div>
been working well. Currently I have one drive and <br>
the operating system and user data are on that drive.
<br>
I'd like to take another step in this project by
adding <br>
a second drive for the OS. One question is how big <br>
of a drive to buy for that? I was thinking 60gb would
<br>
be fine. Here are a few smaller enterprise drives:<br>

<div>One review of the Kingston says it shouldn't
be called <br>
an enterprise drive. The performance of the
Intel drive <br>
isn't the greatest. The one that's 8gb and
costs $2400 is <br>
beyond my budget. Do you have any
suggestions for <br>
this? Tia.<br>
