[QUOTE="pcjunklist, post: 41950, member: 1081"] Linux is a great server OS, which is indeed light on resources and scales great from large enterprise to small business. Most of the work I do is on the Microsoft platform so I usually stick with MS server packages. An added bonus is that I get all my Microsoft software for free from work so I run Win7 Enterprise and Win2k8 R2 server packages. A ssd is treated just like an ordinary hard drive when raided just much faster then a spin disk. There are also on-raid PCI-E hard drives that have 4 ssd's on 1 PCI-E device. Their are personal one's like the OCZ Revodrive and enterprise one's like the LSI Warpdrive. If you like I can add some articles for you if your interested in raiding some drives. As far as Windows Server being a resource hog, I still haven't fully configured the server with AD or any other roles. It all depends on your hardware I guess but I'm running a quad-core with HT and 16gb or ram which is considered an entry level server and it's using barely any cpu and only 1 gig of memory. [/QUOTE]
