Right, got it all delivered and put together, starting out with ESXi installed to USB on the mobo usb socket, then running 1 x 128GB Crucial M500 SSD (had spare :-)) and 1 RAID 1 ARRAY 1TB with seagate barracuda drives in.

 

Figured I would use the ssd as the datastore for the OS of my main virtual server maybe?  Would it be worth it for disk access speed and such?

Yes a SSD makes a great datastore.. VMs bootup in seconds.. What are you going to do with the raid 1 diks?
