Very read-heavy applications would do better to buy a ton of RAM
instead and just make sure they populate from permanent media (say by
reading everything in early at sequential rates to prime the cache).
There is an extremely narrow use-case where SSDs are the right
technology, and it's only in a subset even of read-heavy apps where
they make sense.
Out of curiosity, what are those narrow use cases where you think SSD's
are the correct technology?
