I don't bother with SSDs on Linux machines for personal use.
I believe my SSD is the single most important factor contributing to
overall responsiveness of my desktop machine. The latency is what makes
the difference -- hundreds of seeks at 5.5 ms each for a Western Digital
WD800JB HDD take seconds. At 85 us per seek, an Intel 520 series SSD
can do the same in a tiny fraction of a second. The key parameter is
random input/output operations per second.
