The box is a small server/backup unit Poly-ITX 945GC3 an ATOM-330.
The unit run 7/24 
So I was thinking of putting a new disk in it but can not decide if to go with SSD or another Western Digital drive.
It was my first disk failure so I'm disappointed with WD performance.

The unit run asterik, hylafax and VM (VirtualBox)

What file system is best suited for VM?
