Given that we are working on server OS for little boards that work will with little drives:
For longtime operation of a server which is better,
A notebook 2.5" hard drive or A notebook 2.5" SSD drive ?
Both pull 1A, so no power advantage.
Which can be expected to run for 2 - 3 years straight?
(Note: I am looking at this Kingston 240GB ssdNOW 300 that I pulled from a notebook that had to be upgraded to a 480GB SSD)
thanks

Probably both.
Note: consumer grade 2.5" hard drives (meant for laptops), *might* not be as long term reliable as enterprise grade 2.5" hard drives (meant for servers).
The SSD will be faster than the rotating rust drive.

I agree that both would probably work for two years.
The big difference between enterprise SSDs and consumer one is write endurance.
If you are using this for let's say an embedded web server, the number of writes to the SSD will be minimal and there wouldn't be much difference in terms of reliability between the two classes of drives.
If you are building something to log data, you may want to consider an enterprise class SSD.

Thanks. My current mailserver has been running since 10/2014 on a 320Gb notebook HD I pulled from a Lenovo (referbed notebook). I believe it has been doing just fine. No errors that I have seen in the logwatch email.
Now I am building this new mailserver, and looking at what drives I have sitting on my workbench beyond the 320GB drive I pulled from ANOTHER Lenovo that I am testing with...
