I don't think I'll invest in SSD anytime soon. SSD really has a finite lifespan -- unlike HDD that have an average life before they wear out, an SSD is guaranteed to wear out.
SSD's have their uses -- but what I'm building needs to last longer than a typical business solution -- that's why I'm making it as flexible/expandable as possible

Yeah, right now I would not recommend SSD for anything critical (I thought about an SSD drive to replace the one on my laptop for better battery life / access times, but with the lifespan issue it's not there yet)
Once it matures though, look out, I can see electro-mechanical HDD's going the way of the floppy disk drive.
