I'm building a new PC for myself that I can run a small WAMP website on. It will run on windows 8 with an SSD drive as the boot drive and a hard drive for bulk storage. I would like to ask: - What optimisations could be made to fine tune the balance between: 1. taking advantage of the fast random access times of an SSD for quickly serving web pages 2. avoiding shortening the life of the SSD from excessive write cycles Would this be an appropriate topic for SE's superuser? If not, is there another SE site I could ask it on? (And which one?) Edit: In a way it fits into the accepted topics: - computer hardware - computer software - personal and home computer networking But at the same time it is borderline with the unaccepted topics: - programming and software development - issues specific to corporate IT support and networks Thanks
