Only thing is SSDs have lost traction in data centers. Their failure rates are astonishing--especially compared to HDDs. You simply can't rely on them--and replacing a drive twice or more a year becomes quite a burden on human resources. For the price of a decent SSD, you can buy a high-grade SCSI drive of equal capacity, though that SCSI drive has an advantage in reliability and they're about equal in read/write speeds. Only thing is SSDs have nearly no access time, though that doesn't help them once they start dying.
