    Yes. I suggested that exact solution (TempDB on SSDs) to the system manufacturer's reps. (That solution has produced outstanding results on other servers in previous jobs.)

    The reps replied that SSD can't be added to the system to be devoted to just one server or just one logical disk drive. The only solution the vendor offered was a forklift replacement of the entire system and SSD replacements for ALL disk space.

    That would cost a considerable sum and I won't even propose it to my management because it's not a surgical solution, it's more of an atom bomb approach to solving what is a singular problem in the vendor's system.
