HDDs are infinitely more reparable though. Data recovery from a failed SSD is nigh impossible.

I've only recently heard about it, seems to be potential thing inbetween the current ram & ssd in terms of performance and price (slower than ram and more expensive than SSDs, but vice versa also, cheaper than ram and faster than SSDs). Probs far too early to say much about it but this seems like a relevant thread to bring it up in so w.e =]

Woah. I'm still using 128-256 SSD cards... easy to organise.
Main OS on a 128 - Externals for most of the other Junk... I have multiple copies of almost everything; including on friends HDDs.
<------------------>
I've repaired several hard drives. Bad platters, fried logic boards, it's not that hard to crack open the housing and replace components.
If all else fails, the freezer method can usually resurrect a hard drive long enough to pull your important data off. After going through that, though, it's probably toast.
Of course backups are good too
Unsure. That'd be really cool, though. I don't think you can boot from a read-only filesystem but you could surely pop it out of the machine and put in an external bay to pull the data off.

I've recently just upgraded my 120gb ssd boot drive to a 500gb, bought it for $190 AUD considering I bought the 120gb only a year or 2 before for about $120 ssd prices are dropping
I know I'm a bit late but wow, that's great. Can't wait to replace my 1tb secondary with an ssd soon.
for what do you need 4 TB of ssd speed ? why not a raid with some hdds is maybe as fast as the ssds for that money and you can recover your data if one is lost
Wouldn't get your hopes up with this, and this guy explains why pretty well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_tFt_X57Ik#
All this SSD is, is a bunch of 1Tb drives connected to each other to look like one drive, and because of that you lose quite a bit of performance.
for what would you need raided HDDs for when you can just have an SSD?
didn't watch video, but all SSDs are a bunch of NANDs connected together.. that's how solid state memory works.... how it has always worked.....
these are two 2TB drives connected together, not a bunch of 1tb, and internally it's smaller than that, HDDs are a bunch of platters as well.

i have a samsung 840. good brand
This 13c / GB got me excited until I saw it wasn't out. Lol I doubt we will suddenly be able to increase our current SSDs by 16x for such a cheap price. Going rate for SSD is probably about 25-30c/GB. This price tag will be like the Oculus Rift all over again. We'll all be shocked and complain when it launches at 80c/GB.
I'm pretty sure it's the writes you can do to the SSD that is noticeably less than HDD, the reads you can do before failure is supposedly ridiculously high.
I found some guy claiming,
"To go over the writes limit, you have to do something like 5GB of writes a day for 5 years.
Go SSD, once you do you won't go back.
And don't baby it, use it for what it's for: speedy reads!"

From personal experience my SSD has lasted a few years and my speed hasn't degraded at all. Only thing I recall that degrades performance, still won't be as bad as HDD, is if you fill the SSD up past like 80% capacity.
