Well, in all honestly, that IS going to cause problems
regardless. The larger SSDs are fine (enough) for a phone, but
for a PC that's used for anything more than the average joe's
web/email/word combo, SSDs are still far too small.
I still have an "old fashioned" HDD-only in my PC (a laptop):
dirt-cheap: <$100 for 1TB (try to find an SSD that remotely
compares), and the ONLY time I ever have speed issues in either
Win or Lin is when I'm running far too much crap and start
hitting virtual memory swapping (or when some badly coded
program soaks up all the CPU recourses, but SSDs cant help with
that anyway).
In 2005 a 250Gb magnetic HDD costed the same as nowadays 250Gb
SSD.
