I'm interested in how SSD could help me (if they actually can) with

queue, with mailboxes on standard drives?


Yep.
Although, I don't know if the "cheap" SSDs mentioned can compete with
the SD-RAM backed "super SSDs".
Because, in the mail-server scenario (also: clamav-box, spamassassin
etc.), all you really want to have is I/O.

I don't know if the flash-based "SSDs" can really compete in that area.


cheers,
