My experience with them has been that they are great for streaming samples off disk, say for DFD.  I did some benchmarks with that, and got better performance out of a SSD with slower throughput than a much faster hard drive (with a small buffer size), I suppose because it&#39;s not seeking all over the map.  I&#39;m not sure about writing or recording audio streams; the expensive ones are probably good, but I do know that the less expensive solid state media are slow to write to.<br>

<br>
SSD disks seems to be fast and silent... but are they suitable for audio data, or is it better to just install your basesystem on it?<br>
<br>
I know the masters of <a href="http://openoctave.org" target="_blank">openoctave.org</a> are using SSD for samples, at least. Other sounds on the Internet are that SSD is not perfect for audio (yet).<br>
