Drive replacement question
Hello,
I have a lawyer client for many years now, Which I installed him a windows 7 based computer (AMD ATHON II 250/2GB/128GB SSD) as his main server which is connected via an S-box and a switch to another 11 computer in his office and all works well. He use it mainly as a file server and as an SQL server for a CRM his all office uses.
His database is growing quite fast (Used to be around 20GB 2 years ago - now it's almost 60GB since he started to add scanned documents into his CRM), And I don't like the idea that his SSD capacity now is over 50% because the short life cycle of SSD writing.
What I wanted to do is to turn his SSD to the main drive (only with the win7 OS) and to add another drive.
Now.....I changed his regular 500GB drive he had to SSD about a year ago, because I thought it would enhance the workstation speeds, but I was wrong. They barely noticed any change (His network is 100Mb network not 1Gb).
Now I thought about few options I have :
1. Barely used OCZ Deneva 2 C 240GB MLC drive which i got at a great price on ebay (it's an enterprise drive with lot of space and that has been used only for few weeks, BUT based on sandforce sf-2281 flimsy controller......Maybe the firmware is stable by now :

2. WD black 1TB 64mb cache drive
3. WD green 1TB 64mb cache drive (Intellipower RPM speed)
Smaller SSD is out of the question because of the wear factor, And I don't think he'll be willing to go for a more expensive drive.
What do you think will be best reliable drive for the needs of storing about 60GB of data that will prob. double itself to 100GB within the next year or two ?
Thank you,
H.
