Thank you for the reply. I do not have that OCZ, yet. &nbsp;EugeneZ suggested a FusionIO in another question I have going and it got me thinking.... so, now, exploring how to incorporate that to speed up SQL and the feeding of our client machines requests.<br />

It is all just so much mixed up soup in my head right now, how to install OS and how to configure drives for best result....ahhhh!

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
