what is the cost of the SSDs Munki?

im looking at 2x Samsung 850 EVO 1TB 2.5" SATA III SSD MZ-75E1T0 for game storage in a RAID1 config = $914
and 1x Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5" SATA III SSD MZ-75E500 for the OS and game install storage = $238.99.

Thanks for the donations guys, helps a lot, speeding things up greatly!

Just bought an SSD to test to make sure the server can detect and use it, setup the raid and was able to install ESX (back end operating system that allows me to create virtual machines) without issue.

Next stage is to buy 1x 500GB and combine the drives for redundancy (so if a drive fails we dont loose everything)
Once that raid is setup and ESX is installed, i will then need to buy 2x 1TB SSD's and do the same, raid them together for redundancy (so if a disk fails we dont go offline), then we are done!

heres the baby in its caddy!
