main drive replacement - western digital re enterprise black or seagate sshd in proliant ml110g5

[AnthonyK]

My current Samsung Spinpoint is reaching it's end of life and I dearly need to replace it.

However what is the most prudent choice for this oldie ? 

Do I get myself a Seagate Desktop SSHD 1 TB (solid state hybride drive)  or  a WD Re - 1 TB drive.

Remember I just need to replace the  main drive for the Server OS, the Hypervisor and the applications on this basic Windows 2008 R2 Server which is used as our office server and developer server for php web applications.

Hi,

For servers, I would recomment to use Enterprise HDD or SSD. Some HHD's can do 10K or 15K rpm. They are more expensive but the will do the job.

So you would advice me to better get the Western Digital Re enterprise HDD instead of the Seagate SSHD and say would you still recommend a used Samsung SM825 enterpise SSD which I can get from the first owner for 60 USD ?
