SSD partition on 2008 hosted on ESX4.0

Hi all, I would like to get either the sandforce controller SSD 100GB or

perhaps the Intel G2 160 GB to use for SQL data file and another

partition for random access of a document management store of about 30Gb

of encrypted docs.

As you can imagine random access even on 4 x 10k SAS RAID 10 logical

drive isnt great once you put decryption into the equation.

My idea is to use 2/3 of the SSD for the partitions and leave the remain

1/3rd for write amplification adjustment, as I wont have TRIM running.

Do you think I should just create the array and present the drive to the

VM RAW or should I let VMWare format as VMFS 1st?, not sure what imapct

this would have?

Idea's?
