Just my two pence... We have a small database stored on an ssd and got a large speed bump when we shifted over to it. It's not massively trafficked ( minimal writes, lots of reads). If you've got a good backup regime in place, I'd say go for it.

one thing I will say about ssd is that it's the #1 biggest bang for the buck you can buy ... there's no processor bump, hd speed increase, or memory increase you can spend your money on that will give you anywhere near the equivalent end-user benefit as ssd. i can't imagine ever going back to platters.


I want platters + smart SSD cache, there is plenty of stuff stored on my HDD that I almost never access, but I still want it there. I don't need huge gobs of SSD storage on my mac, I just need enough to keep the stuff that matters on it.

Solaris' ZFS can do this now, using SSD drives as a front line cache to an array of spindle drives. You get speed and resilience.

I use OpenSolaris + ZFS for my home storage array, I want ZFS on my Mac too dammit :)

officially, about 35 seconds from power button to in-using-ichat with my encrypted disk images mounted ... about 4-5 seconds from login window to typing in ichat with network connection.
