Thanks for clearing this up. I thought there was something fishy about the Tom's Hardware article.

I'm really looking forward to SSDs completely replacing the old spinning disks. The early models are super expensive, but the price will surely come down. I suspect it will only be a few years before SSDs really start taking over.
