   Your information on SSD's is quite outdated.  SSD's are *FAR* from    
   unreliable and the "write limited" part is not really a factor any    
   more.  Even consumer-grade SSD's have an expected lifetime that is    
   measured in decades (of far heavier use than you would do).

   Too dangerous?  Well, you could get hit by a bus when you cross    
   the street, too.

   Maybe that's a little excessive?
