I'm building VM Host and plan to use separate drive (not mirrored or anything) for System drive.
I picked up cheap Intel S3500 80Gb and plan on using it on SATA2 port.
Questions I have (not sure)
1. Is 80Gb enough? From what we have on current servers looks like plenty enough. Just for OS and Backup software..
2. Max read is 340Mb on those SSDs. SATA2 limit 300Mb, not much to loose, but main question is.. How much Win 2012 server actually needs to read and write? VMs will be on faster disks on SATA3, but I just want to make sure this system drive will not be a bottleneck
