All valid points. First, the computer I am thinking about is the brand new one that is due to arrive in a couple of days. this one right here. It will have what comes installed on it. I'll install essential programs, such as my Thunderbird, Opera browser, and a few others, which will always be part of my computer mix. Then I'll just put that drive away and use another one for the storage portion of the computer, which will keep the actual programs away from the stored files. I am doing that already and really like that proceedure. I generally keep everything off the primary disc drive, and store everything else on separate drives.
And I can see where the SSDs are a bit less dependable in some respects. However, I expect that to change very soon. Anyway, if users manage to keep all that valuable storage files/folders away from the OS disc, information will not be lost if the SSD crashes. Its just good insurance and also means the primary drive can be small.
Note: I see that particular computer keeps selling like hotcakes. A couple of weeks ago the same one was on sale at Geeks.com, and it sold out before I had a chance to even read my daily email on it. This time, it took an entire 24 hours to sell out. I'm guessing HP ships Geeks several pallets of these little fellows with each shipment, and gives them enough of a discount to really make it all worth while having these special sales. I'll let you all know how it performs.
