SSD is great since it can be very fast. Avoid the Intel consumer version 
since Intel artificially caps the transfer speed to be 80 GB/s (don't quote 
me on this - Intel does cripple the consumer version)

There still a one or 2 issues with SSD. SSD tends to get slower over time 
unless some stuff is done to it (sorry I forgot the details - perhaps 
reformatting?). 

The other issue is, of course, cost. 256GB SSD maybe available but they are 
kinda of very pricey still. Wait 18 months. :)

Regards,
Spencer
