Hi,
I am considering building a 1U server for our own use.. It will not be used to host other peoples data.
The hardware I am looking at only has two available drive bays, and using external storage is not really an option.
I am wanting speed to host MySQL and a website running Apache. Likely operating system is CentOS 5.5 64 bit.
As drive bays are restricted, I dont really have the option of running a decent Raid, so I was thinking of using one of these:
OCZ REVODRIVE PCI-EXPRESS SSD:

As my proxmox boot volume and VM storage. Then I would use the drive bays as non raided backup storage etc. I would back up my VM's daily to this.
Am I right in thinking that this would perform better than most raids anyway?
Is this a stupid idea?
The server I am considering is here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101340
And I would be creating two identical nodes.
