My one worry about SSD is the long term reliability of flash memory. Admittedly, modern hard drives don't last forever either, but I've had flash based devices malfunction in under 2 years.

My old A1200T creates a RAD disk just big enough to install a working copy of the OS into and then reboots from that. Does that count as SSD? :)

Agreed, I think MRAM has huge potential. All of the benefits of static memory combined with the density of DRAM. Can't be bad.
