SSD and magnetic drives: configuration

[David Groos]

Hey Mat, I'm thinking an SSD-performance-effect would depend on which implementation of ltsp you are thinking: thin client, localapps, fat client.  However, I can't answer but this would help frame the problem.  I would guess the smallest benefit would be with fat clients.  Would be interesting hearing some test results…
