Its a good deal but SSD's are coming down in price dramatically.

You can do rsyncs from /etc/cron.daily onto a spare, normally unmounted
and spun-down, disk.  That way if your SSD ever goes south, you lose at
most a day's work.  When I got my ssd I wasn't sure what to expect, so I
figured I'd play it safe.  The only time I needed the daily backup was a
goof that did involve the ssd, but was the result of confusion as to
which directory I was in.  The incredible speed of the SSD allowed me to
delete a few thousand pictures in approximately a second. SSD's:
allowing you to make mistakes faster than ever before.  ;-)
