Now the first thing you’re probably thinking is “SSD in a storage server? Is this guy out of his mind?”
The answer is “Probably.”
I’ve lost 3 boot drives in my Windows Home Server since I started using it, and while it’s quite painless to replace a dead drive in WHS if it’s NOT the boot drive, the procedure when it’s your OS drive is LONG and ANNOYING. Since SSDs are supposed to be so “reliable” and Corsair claims their S128 SSD has a MTBF of 100 years or something, I thought “Why not give it a shot”.
I also added a much better HDD mounting caddy to my WHS because the one in this rubbish case vibrates like crazy. It also couldn’t have been helping that I had no fan blowing over the drives. It should be an overall large improvement to my WHS assuming the SSD doesn’t cack out.

I think reliability isn’t why people don’t usually use SSD’s for storage
The cost per GB is really enormous right now
(At least, for regular folks who don’t get discounts like me :p)
