It certainly doesn't degrade the disk. SSD are nice as they are faster for seeking. Continuous transfer-rates with are about the same for ssd and hdd at least in the range where they aren't to pricey for normal people. If you want to use one: Use it for the current projects you are working on. Leave the operating system on the traditional hdd. You boot your os only once a day. Once ardour is running, the current project is reading many chunks of data from different files in rapid succession. Exactly what the main advantage of ssd is... Have fun, Arnold
