I was told by, I believe his name was Andrew at Cedia last year, supposedly Crestron's SB guru that a SSD drive will significantly speed up up the compile time, since those drives are significantly faster. Since SB needs to access the databases during build time, it's the HD transfer rate that plays a big part in slowing down things. It's on my to do list to try it, but I have not gotten around to it yet. I was a little wary of doing as well since is a fairly new thing, but maybe they are ready for prime time now. Need to do some research about it first.

Would be a real benefit for us. Some of these systems take forever to compile.

Exurb from SSD article:

Speeding Up

With the very fast paced lifestyle these days, most businesses are time-bound and cannot afford a slowing down in their transactions. This makes speed of HDDs a crucial point in technological purchases. The typical access time for a Flash based SSD is about 35 - 100 micro-seconds, whereas that of a rotating disk is around 5,000 - 10,000 micro-seconds. That makes a Flash-based SSD approximately 100 times faster than a rotating disk.
