<DIV>Considering the limited amount of writes you have on an SSD still I'd say that using SSD's for an MTA would not be the best idea.</DIV>
<DIV>Mail servers handle lots of tiny files so in that view SSD's would be perfect with their low access times, everything is possible as long as you stuff enough money into it :-)</DIV>
<DIV>If its just for archiving I'd suggest a raid 5 or 6 array with cheap sata disks. (5 can handle 1 disk failure, 6 can handle 2, add hot spares depending on how secure you want the data)</DIV>
<DIV>I think the same principals apply as for a fileserver, it depends on how much file IO you are expecting to have and the kind of data on it.</DIV>
