I've got a 32GB SSD sitting here on my desk for the next time I need to
power the system down. My two logical drives are both on the same
spindle, so all disk access has to contend for the same disk resource.
I'm going to assign all the various swap files (Windows paging file,
Photoshop scratch disk, etc.) to the SSD to get those disk accesses off
the main drive.
I figured it was cooler and quieter than putting a small 15K rpm SCSI
disk in. Besides, the mother board I used doesn't have any spare PCI
slots to put the SCSI controller in.
