I haven't had a lot of luck with SSDs in terms of reliability, so I'd never store anything important on one. Last year, I had 2 of them fail completely. So I don't think they're anywhere close to replacing mechanical hard drives for storage purposes. |

Re: SSD Don'ts!
I wonder how this relates to using SSD drives for recording media in devices such as the Atomos Ninja and Convergent Design's new Odyssey.

Re: SSD Don'ts!
Using SSDs for temporary storage is an ideal use - especially since it might be moving around. Hard drives are best used when stationary but silicon isn't bothered by motion. After you've got the shot, transfer it to redundant drives and clear the SSD.
Another great usage is for synthesizer sample libraries. Load up a few gigs. Play your keyboard. The samples are quickly streamed from the drive in random order. It's all reads after only one write. And if the SSD dies, just load your samples to a new one. Sample libs aren't dynamic (except when you upgrade to the next version.)
