>> I started buying SSDs a couple of years ago for speed, but I still feel more secure with data preservation using hard-drives for backups.
Old habits die hard. The article posted here the other day indicating that SSD's lives seem more about calendar time than about the number of references to particular bits suggests that your intuition may be right.
For now, HDs are continuing to be my choice for backups but I'm pretty much through with HDs as the essential drives.
I've been getting Lenovo i5s for my customers, with a 250GB SSD as a workstation. 250GB is plenty for my customer's workstations.
