Preparing to build a small replacement server (initially built in 2005) and normally for the OS I would buy 2x500GB drives and deploy in a RAID 1 configuration. Now we have SSD drives available
- does just a single SSD drive offer the same reliability or is there
advantage in deploying two in a Raid 1 config?
Also, what form factor / interface is best for the SSD OS boot device on a server M/B? Anything I should be looking for? It seems most SSD are in laptop drive size, shape and interface - thus not a good fit into a server motherboard unless I'm missing something.
- what devices are you using?

There will always be advantages in using Raid 1 for OS, but to be able to give you a better response, we will need a little more information.
We currently use SSDs on our blade servers, which uses hardware raid 1 for the OS only and most data and other applications are configured on different drives/clusters.
