actually it points out one reality..

to feed todays modern cpu's, you need a better disk system not a single 7200 rpm disk like all manifacturers used to sell ;D

otherwise your cpu stays useless..

Keep looking at SSDs for OOF (OOF's software is particularly harsh on disks), but until reliability is proven, sticking to normal disks.

Looked at the reviews on aria etc.  Seems a lot of people are buying them in pairs and setting them up as Raid Boot Systems
