What are the pros and cons of using an SSD as the only drive in a workstation instead of an array of several HDDs or a fast 10k/15k HDD?
To be more specific, Intel X25-M 80GB with Windows 7 x86-64 installed for use in developer/designer workstations, using a NAS, SAN or file server for storage of large files and the SSD for the source code.
Two I can think of right now:
Pros:
- Cheaper - you don't pay for additional HDDs
Cons
- Less space - you don't have the space of HDDs
