Depends on the user's requirements. For caching storage with 500+MB/s
read performance in real-world tests, it is a compelling technology. A
good example is last.fm, who use SSD storage up front for commonly
accessed files, and regular spinning disk for lesser listened to songs.
A full TB of SSD out front would make a world of difference when
streaming the same files to multiple users at a time.
