Ah, I didn't realize you were leasing the hardware and rather than owning it and having it racked/hosted somewhere. I'm sure that's more cost effective, especially in the long run given how quickly server hardware becomes obsolete and the maintenance costs that can quickly add up. I'm actually a sys admin so I know at least a teeny bit about these types of things.

That said, would there be a dollar amount or figure you could toss out to make the SSD upgrade possible, assuming you don't have enough subs to cover it?
