    About the HD's mentioned in OP, i notice there are now 10k rpm and 15k rpm ordinary satas available, would these be much better than the 7500 rpm ones if we cannot afford SSD?

    I think so, I run 10k and it's definitely a level above 7200. Just make sure you keep it cool (especially the 15k). Might want to check reliability on 15k drives though, I haven't bought any recently but I think sometimes there's a bit more fear of reliability with the high speed drives (in servers it doesn't matter so much since there's always redundancy in the RAID) - this might not be an issue anymore though. 15k drives also use more power. To be honest it might be more worthwhile running some 10K drives in a raid 1 or 10 instead, depending on the cost of each and your total budget. But I definitely recommend 10k over 7200.

    If you can afford 10K/15K RPM drives... you can also afford a cheap SSD.
    Check out the RAPTOR vs Intel X25-V (the slow budget series Intel) performance.

    well you can't install OS+DB on that but it's enough for any DB alone anyway.

    i just meant that 30Gbs will in most cases not be enough. if you have at least 60, this is good for average usage for OS+soft+postgre base.

    Right so i could spend £120 on a velociraptor and use it for everything or spend £25 on a 250gb seagate sata and £90 on 64gb SSD drive and run OS and all poker stuff on the SSD and all other storage on the sata drive?
