This really only applies to server workloads though, I think there is nothing that is going to stop SSD's total takeover of the home/desktop market because you'll never be at the required scale or have the proper storage controllers and write-back caching with compression with copy-on-write to negate all the latency pitfalls of HDDs.

 

A lot of people get lost in the awesome numbers of SSDs and arrays and forget that most storage workloads actually doesn't need those insane performance figures, networking will always be the limiting factor and it doesn't take that many HDDs to saturate network links so unless you need the IOPs you don't need SSDs.

*looks at second desktop with 2013 60GB SSD+good 2.5" 7200RPM HDD*
