Windows Server on 50GB Drive?

[Philj]

I've been given a load of 50GB SSDs by a friend. Are they big enough for Win Server 2008R2 or 2012?

Thanks

The OS will fit, sure.

The OS itself will fit.

How much memory do the servers have? Keep in mind the page file.

Thanks for the replies guys.

The VM host will have 32GB of RAM but the SSDs will store the VM guests only and they probably won't have more than 4GB of RAM each.

If you've got a bunch of drives in the host, I'd use storage spaces to stripe them and just create whatever size VHDs you want. On SSD, it would be SMOKIN fast.
