We design a lot of applications around relatively slower hard drives (caching, blocking, sequential processes, memory pools, etc). Getting rid of that constraint has some deep implications for design.
I recently ran across a presentation on PostgreSQL performance. The presenter recommended not putting other applications (logging and such) on the server so the disk arms would stay on the database. That problem goes away with SSDs.
