As it fills up, purchase another, image your system, create a stripe pair, restore image, realign and move on. Repeat as needed. When you run out of ports purchase a real raid controller. Next thing you know you'll have a box full of hard drives with 2GB/S transfer speed. 😀

Croaking would imply to me a complete hardware failure to becoming a brick, or at a minimum, having become as slow or slower than a mechanical drive.

But if we want to use your definition of croaking, I can get you more exact figures when I get home (to my SSD). Until then, figure you have the OS, you'll have your documents/files/pictures, which I assume are not a particularly large folder (since you have a server). Beyond that, my 60GB allows me to have four to five large programs or games; i.e. UT3, SC2, about 60% of Adobe CS4 Suite, and Solidworks, with still a few GB spare.

There's nothing really wrong with running an SSD a little low on free space; at least, I haven't seen anything wrong. Between Windows 7's memory management, the SSD's speed, and 6 GB of RAM, it's never given me a problem.

I'm wondering if I should bump it up to a 120 GB SSD. I'm old school and like the OS on a separate partition.
 
Don't partition, it makes no sense at all these days.

The new 120GB intels do offer a nice price/space ratio. Don't fall for other drives using cache/compression schemes to seemingly benchmark better. They certainly do but the benchmarks used do NOT reflect real life use. I've had lots of SSDs pass through my hands and always keep going back to the Intels for desktop/light workstation use.
 
Yes, that's a good price for that!
Hard to believe a year ago the 160GB drives were going for nearly $600! 😱
 
Goddamnit, that's barely more than I spent for a 60GB last August.

But yes, that's the drive.

I know of no benefit to separating the partitions, but if it floats your boat...
