I think most of the commercial voicemail solutions use harddrives, so  
does stuff like tivo for that matter. I wouldn't put vm on flash, os  
and config yes.

  How quiet does this place need to be ? don't the users all have  
computers already ? is the a/c silent too ? Just in my personal office  
there is so much background hum it masks out external noise almost  
completely, but its not an objectionably loud level, ie no one I have  
been on the phone with has ever commented on the noise level and it  
does not interfere with conversations.  Server room - now thats  
another story completely.
