Yes you can mix and match to build any level of support to fit in with your business requirements.

What is a Solid State Drive (SSD)?
You know those flash chips that are used in USB sticks and SD cards? A SSD is basically several of those chips working in parallel with a controller to bring you higher performance and higher reliability. Unlike a normal hard disk, there are no moving parts and information is saved and retrieved directly rather than a mechanical head moving backwards and forward over a spinning disk, which is why it is faster and more reliable.
Who are Solid State Drives (SSD) for?
Anyone who wants their computer to start up faster (boot), shutdown faster, load programs faster, or play games faster. An SSD is for you if you want your computer to work faster than a machine with a standard hard disk drive and have a system that feels more responsive.
What benefits are there to an SSD beyond speed?
There are many advantages to a SSD compared to a traditional spinning mechanical hard drive, such as:
* No noise due to no moving parts
* Lower heat emission compared to standard hard drives
* Lower power consumption and as a result, longer battery life for laptops
* Reliability – much more resistant to shock and vibration, making them less likely to fail
Are all SSD drives the same?
Within the world of SSD, there are various factors that influence the speed of the drive. In reality anyone moving from a normal HD to SSD will be happy with which ever drive they go with but for those looking to squeeze every bit of performance from their computer it is worth making sure that the spec of your SSD is matched to your requirement.
