Big disadvantage of SSD discs is fragmentation and limited number of writes into memory. SSD discs are useful just for reading. You cant use SSD like normal hard disc (sure you can but after some time you will feel decelaration of reading/writing on disc)

My Pc -

Nah not really.

My pc (actually its a laptop but bleh)
Acer Aspire 6920G
Mouse 1 Roccat (I brought it for 62 euro, but I can say its failing to my logitech one) / Mouse 2 Logitech G5 / Mouse 3 Mx518 - Logitech (OLD.. like really)
Keyboard - Logitech G19, but it keeps overheating @ usb ports, even if I unplug it out of the electricity , I swear the plastic even melted there.

And a crt screen lol. Win pc?

Edit: Oh btw, I chucked out my laptop keyboard cause it kept spamming random keys once I turned on the notebook. Really kept pissing me off

newer SSDs have trim technology which clears unused sectors to archive full speed again. SSds get better and better and if i would have enaugh money i would buy some, at least for windows (but only if u could shit money xD)

yesss
soon i'll sell my 2 x 74gb Western Digital Raptor 10000rpm used for RAID0 for one or two SSD (depends on money) exclusively dedicated for OS use while the Caviar Black do excellently the dirty work of storage. perfect balance

oh i also have a 1tb Caviar green installed on my external gigabit NAS with integrated Bittorrent client..
what an absolute comfort to download with pc switched off it also can be remote controlled (4ex by ur workplace pc) :Q__

But this technology makes ssd writes/reads slower. And price of ssd is still senseless. Two fast discs in raid is still better solution than ssd.

not really

first of all ssd have access time less than one ms (in case of sata it's around 14ms) seeing the difference? at the point ssd is 140 times faster than any sata disks.

second thing intel ssd have around 210MB/s
for comparing the best sata disk have 120MB/s

third thing is sata transfer drops down depending on the data location on the disc (physic location) down to 70MB/s while SSD transfer doesn’t drop at all, it is constant at 210MB/s

compare these hdtune screens

even if u comparing by the price one ssd vs two sata still raid0 performs worse than single ssd disk

see below, ssd is 140 times faster at access time, and his average speed is still faster by some MB, but just look at the minimum speed of both disks Well u can actually made an 64GB array out of 1000GB to have constant transfer rate, then SATA might be better at transfer rate but the huge gap in access time between these disk makes a huge difference in preformance

if u have chance to make test, install some system on ssd use it around one week then for sure u will notice how huge the difference is

I am addicted to life.
