Anything which swaps out a lot or otherwise carries out a lot of disk writes will be bad for solid state drives, as flash memory has limited rewrite cycles, beyond which the memory will begin to degrade.

I dont know, the IBM white paper says that you can write 100GB a day for 5 years without fear of hitting a dead cell on the drive. I dunno, that was what i read from IBM.
