Looked into 220V ... Was told a watt is a watt. That is what you pay for.

A new server I'm playing with for DNS pulls about 70 watts with 2 ssd's drives raid 1 in it. The servers running now draw 150 to 170 watts each. i'll replace all three. Zoom Zoom.

I'm going to put the original mechanical drives on to see if there is a difference for the hell of it but will use SSD's in this case.

40 gig intel SSD's are about $105 each. Little more than 250 gig sata mechanical drives. DNS servers don't have large hard drive requirements so 40 gigs are fine.

There is like no heat either.

I took a video of win XP booting.. I'll load it up to youtube in a bit. FAST and the drives I'm using are not considered fast ssd's
