Like other drives, they come as standard equipment, or as add-ons. At this point in their development, I can see only two drawbacks--capacity and long-term reliability. As for speed, it's all relative. Let's face it, just about anything in today's market is reasonably nimble. We seem to have slowed the insane quest for ever faster processor speeds, focusing now on architecture, and how many cores you can squeeze onto one small piece of silicon.
