Does in fact a GOOD SSD save power? Possibly not compared to some laptop=20
HDDs.

SSD wins on Random access and especially Reads.
But does it win on sequential writes for single user rather than a Server?

Win7 and Linux both do a lot of writing. Win7 does a lot of writing even=20
when you are doing nothing.

Enterprise SSD maybe good. But lots of consumer netbooks have had SSDs=20
that are slower than HDD. EEEPC 900 etc?

Is it not the case that 250Gbyte GOOD SSD is hugely more expensive than=20
a run of the mill Laptop 250Gbyte HHD and use more power?
The HDD might fail next week or last 10 years. How long will the SSD last?

There seems to be a lot of conflicting info. Also the highest capacity=20
HDDs seem to be a lot less reliable than 2 steps back in capacity.
