[QUOTE="theonegod, post: 573602, member: 22259"] Is it worth $1000 to you to loose 20 gigs of space and gain a bit of write speed? That is what it comes down to. I personally would never recommend spending over a grand of a 64gig hard drive. As to the number of writes to fail, my issue is that these are new and it is hard to tell when used as a hard drive just how long it would take. As for the no moving parts meaning much less likely to fail, HDs don't fail all that often anymore due to mechanical failure. I can't remember the last time a HD failed for that reason that wasn't over 3-5 years old. Course I see your point it IS a potential benefit. I think just that the lower power consumption and faster boot time will be overshadowing it. [/QUOTE]
