Hello all. Got a question that I couldn't answer myself after reading all the SSD reviews. I have a small business and run Quickbooks Premier 2007. The company file, which resides on a network computer continues to grow larger with every new input so over time it takes longer and longer to access it. For those of you who are familiar with QB, we don't want to start a new company file because we want all customer history to be on hand. So, the purpose of our query is to see if we can speed things up by using an SSD drive solely for the company file, or if we would be better served on a vraptor (or even a std 7200rpm drive for that matter). The company file is currently 139mb.
Now, we're not sure if the entire company file is rewritten when changes are made (i.e. new invoice created, deposits made), or just a portion of it, so I can't determine which benchmark test is more relevant to our situation. Also, we have 3 users constantly accessing and adding data to the company file all day. I'd say on any given day we could save new data to the file 30 to 50 times (affecting useable life of ssd?).
Money is not really an issue if the performance warrants it, but the performance gain needs to be significant for the money.
Thanks to all who take the time!
