SSD For Server

It really all comes down to what you're using it for.
Do you have a lot of database intensive sites? Do you need a higher Disk I/O? Do you require a lot of concurrent database connections? How is your pattern of usage?
Unless you're running a ginormous site which is I/O intensive - you won't notice a lot of difference when moving to an SSD server.

We have RAID 10 SSDs for all of our database servers. It's a huge performance increase, we'd never be able to do a lot of the resource intensive stuff we do without it.
BlogHue said it - depends on what you need it for.
It will def. work faster than any SCSI (or SATA, lol) disks but the question is do you really need it?
We have no idea what you're hosting: database server, backup server, download server, filesharing server, regular wordpress server, mail server
, etc...

I run a web hosting company and we have SSD based SANS with fail over clustering and it absolutely hammers any bare metal based drive. you are looking at more IOPs (no longer recorded via RPM). Bare metal drives typically do 350 IOPs where as decent SSD drives do anywhere up to and beyond 100,000 IOPs.
There are drawbacks like random read / write performance has some drawbacks but overall you couldnt go back once you have opted for SSD drives nor would you want to.

I created an in house SSD server that simply had 80gb of PDF's from Dropbox. Well worth it, the files would pop up instantly when searched and would open instantly too.
Currently it is expensive solution for hosting operations.
I have about 35 clients (web sites) and it takes 400 GB of space (logs, backups, etc).
Why move to a ssd solution for the double the price?
If you want performance, prefer upgrading memory. memory caching is x100 times better the ssd performance.
