Solid State Hard Drive

I am planning to do some proactive maintenance of our 3+ year old asterisk/freepbx server.

Just keep in mind that you can only write the same sector of the drive a specific number of times before the sector becomes unwritable causing performance degradation and potential data loss. We had one of these drives in a Windows 2003 server with the drive chewing through 1%/week. Depending on how you use your system and expectations for long term stability and performance you may want to stay with a spinning platter.
