Guidance on New Business Computer

Dear Bonehead, Thanks. I'm taking your guidance and using an SSD on the file-host machine. They are pretty cheap now, and I could put one on a client machine as well, if I'm happy with the improvement on the file-host. If it's already on the host, would it make much difference if it were on...
