With the proliferation of SSD disk and its costs going down, some RAID levels with low write performances are no longer so low. Put an SSD in your life. I've done it, both home, laptop and work. Is the best money can buy right now in order to increase performance several degrees. We are planning to do it also on our local servers, first on the test server and then on the main one if evertyhing is ok.Make sure you have good backups and be careful here. When SSDs die, they die ,and you may or may not get good notice.

😀 Very good article that one on CodingHorror. Sorry for not replying, was no aware of the thread and it has grown a lot with useful information. I indeed have backups of everything on external hard drive. At the office we finally didn't change the HD on the servers, is not a priority for our manager for now.
PS: failed the MCITP sql server 2008 exam yesterday... :sick: need to work harder on it
