Thanks for your time.

How much images do you have?
I had a case where a client had ~20gb images and he took cheap 32gb ram servers and we served these images from memory using
Varnish so it was super-fast!
The client had TGP/MGP style network and had insane amounts of traffic and had couple of servers setup like this burning 300gbps bandwidth 24/7.
In case of HDD vs SDD there's no doubt that it will be quicker on SSD. But again depends on caching and how often some files are served...
