Only pc that doesnt have an SSD

reason i ask is that i use Lights Out on it
this means that whenever a PC comes on the server recieves a wakeup packet via the LAN and it comes out of hibernation
the server physically comes on very quickly as soon as my laptop/desktop etc gets to the desktop

what takes a long time (1-2 mins) is the server being accessible
im not sure but i suspect an ssd may well help?
it only needs the OS to be on it so i suspect i could get away with 64GB

if i remember there may be some hoops i need to jump through to allow installation on something so small
else i could get a bigger ssd as i would like faster access to documents and pictures(not vids or music)

tldr
would an ssd reduce my bottle neck of server hibernation wake up to fullly launched desktop?
 
sounds good!

may need to research if i can just clone current os over. i suspect i can
