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.
The principle is sound, but the prices are 10x too much.
Apropos:
ext4 has been found to be dangerous right now in kernels 3.4, 3.5, and
3.6, due to a data loss bug. They are working on the patch as we speak,
of course, but in the meantime, minimize the number of times you mount
the ext4 filesystem.
