I am using an Intel X25-E SSD for the system drive of a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with 16 GB RAM. Would it be good practice to move the pagefile to its own drive? If so, for the pagefile drive, would there be a preference for SSD or conventional hard...

Whether it is a good idea or not to use SSD's for the system drive SSDs have on those patterns, there are few files better than the pagefile to place on an SSD.

I'm looking for an SSD disk for my operating system drive on my desktop machine. There seems to be a huge range of sizes and prices. I understand that the internal mapping between flash blocks and logical blocks makes a huge difference in responsiveness...

The article Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZ still is one of the best references to understanding.
It looks like the Intel X-25 drives are the speediest, but they're pricey.

Hello!
I would like to upgrade my laptop's (Dell M70) hard drive to an SSD, such as the Intel X25-M MLC SSD or a Dell 128 GB Serial ATA SSD . I wonder whether SSDs require any special hardware to work properly, or if installing an SSD in place of a regular...

In case it does work and you install Windows 7, it will detect the SSD and turns off a Parallel ATA (PATA) SSD.
Edit: read Molly's post! You can only use the SSD if the laptop actually support S-ATA, else it's not possible.

The main advantage of SSD drives is better performance. I am interested in their reliability.
Are SSD drives more reliable then normal hard drives? Some people say they must be because they have no moving parts, but I am concerned about the fact that ...

For reliability in rough environments, any SSD is probably going to out-rate a normal hard drive.

I'm getting ready to release a tool that is only effective with regular hard drives, not SSD (solid state drive). In fact, it shouldn't be used with SSD's because it will result in a lot of read/writes with no real effectiveness.
Anyone knows of a way...

SSD devices emulate a hard disk device interface, so they can just be used like hard disks characteristics of the drive (latency, speed, size), though this won't be accurate for all drives.

I am wanting to replace my Operating sytem hard drive with 2 SSD drives. Well possibly just 1 but I am curious about doing 2 in a RAID-0 setup for even more improved speed. What exactly would I need to run 2 SSD drives in a raid0 setup?

Functionally, what's the difference between a USB flash drive and an SSD (aside from their interfaces, because duh)? Lots of nice gooey hardware discussion is totally welcome.

Mostly the interface.
SSD drives are packed with very fast, very expensive chips.
That is marketed for speed (I've had good luck with OCZ, the write speed difference was noticeable) .

You cannot get rid.
In an "invisible" partition, regardless if your HD is SSD or spinning disks.

There are the normal issues of having a paging file on an SSD, mainly the limited number of writes (erases, whatever) an SSD supports.
