I have Google doing a lot of work for me

seems that the 320 series have the highest failure rate

the page is more for gaming, corporate users have different requirements

The Intel SSD toolkit has not lived up to its potential either, google has tuned up a few gripes over peep looking for yet another firmware update

So send it back, let the thread know how the replacement pans out

If it would be about gaming, I probably wouldn't be that upset.

my gaming site is 10x bigger in popularity compred to my IT site

so I am requiting some of the IT pages in terms a gamer can understand

I am a 2x Windows MVP so I can do hardcore IT if needed

There is no discussion what's bigger. Unless you work for the S/W company that produces games, gaming is leisure for you.

I'm talking about business here, that's why it's much more important to me.

The corporate use I see often is for putting the OS on a HD and put the web site files on the SSD so speed up busy servers.  I have considered this angle as my gaming site traffic rises.

What are you demonstrating with your SSD based machines?

Document Management, Workflow Processes, OCR/ICR and other related stuff.

Having SQL-Server, Image Server, Web Server and Application Server all on one machine is necessary for a successful demonstration sometimes.

my server is 2008 r2 and I have IIS (application) up, I have SQL Server 2008 R2 as well, sharepoint and foundation server, mine is mostly a developer's server

might be an idea to make a shadow copy backup frequently just in case the SSD craps out, use 2 or 3 layers so you can restore with more confidence

what capacity of SSD are you using?

Lucky for me I have a backup. Not too recent, but it took me only 2 hours to restore everything to a normal state.

I have 100 GB OCZ Vertex 2, 160 GB Intel X25 and 240GB Vertex 3. And, of course, the "RIP" 300 GB 320 series.

I suggest using a hard disk to backup the server with, ideally in a back office just in case the unthinkable happends
