The problem is the NORMAL common problem of how much reading and (esp.) writing might be done as part of normal operation... SSD technology is advancing, but a bit slowly in some areas. Minimizing writes is still a good idea. Future filesystems and options on current filesystems might work better with SSD in the near future. In general, most people have ignored the issue and deployed anyhow.

And some programs will start faster. -- --- Paul J. Gans

I agree with you. I shall not be moving to SSD for general use for a long while yet. Hard drives are just too cheap. -- --- Paul J. Gans
