Perhaps it's time to SSD a couple of my older desktops, for cheap.

It's tough to use a 120GB SSD for your only drive. If you put the system on it and have a larger secondary drive for storage, it will work fine.

^ Have a GbE NAS then no need to be burdened with separate bulk storage drives on every client. Make automated client backups to it too, then you have a central point main backup strategy.

All my desktops have both a small system drive (e.g. 500GB) and one or more bigger drives too (e.g. 1TB to 5TB), either internal or via USB3. So no big deal to squeeze the system stuff (OS, apps, etc.) onto a 120GB SSD.
Plus what Dave said.

120GB SSDs are routinely on sale for $40 these days - two for $80 not really a deal.

^ True, but it could be a convenient way to get two that are likely to be identical if one feels that is important for a RAID pair, and if you need two, you could spend (waste) a lot of time looking to try to get them much lower than $40 ea... plus sometimes when the deal is $40 it's limit 1.

All good points but I guess I'd expect a little more incentive to buy two - at $75 for the pair I'd probably come up with a need for these ;-)
