SSD's are obviously more durable than hard drives. Hard drive have an average life of like 4 years. SSDs don't have moving parts like hard drives do, sort of like a flash drive. Furthermore they increase boot time drastically. As displayed in this PCworld article: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2048...-upgrades-deliver-huge-performance-gains.html
I guess if you're really that concerned with boot times. But the difference in performance when the PC is on would be negligible. I suppose new SSDs wouldn't wear as fast over the years as the old ones. Still, I'd much rather RAID a few drives than have an SSD.
