I am in my practical naivety inclined to agree, but I'm not sure whether real world testing bears this out - heat from 7200rpm - is it really a problem ? - reliability of SSD - is it really better over the lifetime of a laptop ? - speed of SSD (excepting large sequential writes) - is it really better ? If any one of these is significant, then I think you can argue that if cost is not a problem, SSD is advantageous. If none of these is significant then capacity starts to become relevant. _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
