For the price though, they aren't really worth the money to buy just to put your OS on. Your system drive on a Solaris system generally doesn't see enough I/O activity to require the kind of IOPS you can get out of most modern SSD's. If you were using the system as a workstation, it'd definitely help, as applications tend to feel more responsive with an SSD. That's all I run in my laptops now. --Tim
