HDD or SSD as primary storage

[Yousuf Khan]

To one and all who replied. Thank you so much. Abundantly helpful.
For my purposes, my conclusion, based on your input: I'm going to
stick with HDD's. Seems to me SSD's are not ready for primetime in
terms of reliability and longevity. Perhaps they will be ready
someday, or perhaps an entirely new solid state technology will
arrive. In any case, thanks again.

I found this Beginner's Guide about SSD's recently. It may answer some
of your questions:

It's written for the newbie but it doesn't talk down.
