I'm considering switching to a boot SSD from mirrored USB flash drives. I expect this to yield increased possibly reliability of the boot drive, and allow putting the system swap on the boot SSD, thus avoiding the problem of system failing due to loss of swap after a drive failure.
I've got a Supermicro X10SL7-F motherboard, with 16GB RAM and six data drives (I expect to eventually rework the configuration to use 10 data drives). If I understand correctly, my only option is a SATA DOM. Is this correct? If so, which SATA DOM is recommended? I'm thinking I would want a 64GB of capacity for the SSD (assuming I eventually increase the RAM to 32GB, in which case a 32 GB SSD might be a bit small). Comments?
