Well I'm definitely happy people want to work with SSD, we have rolled the package out for SSD
Well now see, here's the problem . . . you don't run Call of Duty servers, so you couldn't possibly understand the benefits of spinning disks and how they match the performance of SSDs.
You are forgiven!
For the vast majority of users SSD has a marvelous placebo effect.
For a small minority it's actually beneficial
Stop quoting out of context. All I said was in most of the cases you do not need SSDs if your HDD is not overloaded by around 100 people on the node.
I would recommend anyone switch an HDD in their desktop to SSD though. OS re-installation, boot, shutdown, hibernate, and random task switching will be noticeably faster. I adopted in 2010, and even with several drives dying due to controller/firmware issues, I never switched back.
^ this, I have a Crucial M4 in my laptop and I couldn't go back to a 5400RPM drive. Now I just need to get around to swapping the DVD drive for a HDD caddy so I can put a backup drive in there

I know, it's an obvious statement. If your I/O requirements don't exceed what spinning disks can provide, then the spinning disks will work fine, and will continue to do so until they die.
On the other hand, if a sane person builds a new system they would likely pick the most reliable, efficient and performant solution that fits their budget. For small storage, that is not a spinning disk.
