Re: SSD vs HDD

Yes, they are faster. Yes, you might be able to justify the cost with the
increased speed. The problem that I have with SSD drives in situations
like this is the fixed number of writes before they go read-only. That
might not be a problem for a PC, iPhone, or non-write-intensive
application. Since the i tends to like to page things in and out of
memory to disk wouldn't that "use up" you number of writes a lot more
quickly. That would seem to tend to diminish the cost-justification of
the speed. A raid environment could probably handle the more frequent
drive "failures".
