It's still a complete waste of money to buy a real big SSD. I'll not getting one until my next build in the future.
SSDs have one HUGE disadvantage - based on flash memory technology they have limited write cycles. While a million or 10 of writes is ok for something like drive where you store music - you just add more files until drive is full and read them many times, it's not that good for system drive with a lot of swapping with up to few thousand writes per second. We tried to use SSDs for swap-intensive system - 2 failed within a month, one worked for about a year.
