Boating All Out

I have not jumped on the SSD bandwagon with Harry yet. I just don't
like the fact that they tell you these things have a finite life
(10,000 writes). On a system drive, that might happen pretty fast.
(something like the page files)

I've been running a SSD as my system disk for about a year and a half
without issue. Also have a 512 GB SSD for my games. No issues.
They're much faster, cooler, and use very little power.
Spinners will fail too.
For the average user who's happy to just chug along, they're pointless,
but for a so-called "power user" they're the cat's meow.
It gets down to expense.
So if you don't want to pay up, it's fine to do without.
I expect prices to keep coming down until they match spinners.
