Tanner,
Thanks for the reply. I believe you are right. The decision I have to make at the moment, since our server in the warehouse is being refreshed, is to spend the extra few thousand dollars on SSD drives for the server OR bank on LD 9.6 provisioning on being the answer. I've asked our server refresh team if I could keep the server there longer and if they could put on some performance monitoring read queue or IO issues so I could make a more informed decision. The hardware needs to be purchased in this budgets cycle, and I am trying to avoid dumping thousands extra on SSD if I wont see any benefit or a significant benefit.
