Winterlight,
Think you are wrong. SSD's are in essence very large flash drives. They
are not mechanical; hence their speed increase.
"Limit writes??" Yes, absolutely. Writes wear out this cells. Reads of
the [chosen, fixed] cells are "!!FREE!!".
I could be very wrong, but this is what I get from the List Memebers
playing with them. JMHO.

typically put their OS on these and pagefile.sys defaults to the C drive.

Bad idea, you want to LIMIT writes to those,
but if you could afford to wear it out, go for it.
It would be faster than a SwapFile on an HD.
Intel has a white paper on this IIRC.
(I don't have any but might have stored the whitepaper.)

Subject: [H] SSD question
I don't want to pop for a larger SSD right now, but I am thinking of
getting a 30GB OCZ just to try out, maybe use it for video editing,
game install. I am wondering how well this might work out for a
pagefile.sys file? How close is it to RAM speeds?
