Yes an SSD would be a good choice. Here is a good deal at Microcenter on an Intel with good read/write speeds and warranty.  $89  or  $178 for a couple of these in raid 1.

Our chosen server is a dual processor dual core Opteron with RAID 0, 1 or 5. We plan on using RAID 1. I was planning on using green drives that power down when not in use but something tells me that Asterisks is going to want full spin-up to avoid dropped data packets. Your guidance is appreciated. Happy Holidays!

Why not get a SSD?  I picked up a 128gb one for 98 dollars at Compusa in Tampa a couple weeks ago.  They are low power, and you don't have to worry about spinning disks.
