Not so sure. There are plenty of benefits to SSD too. I suspect system designers will just add more RAM to act as cache to offset some of these performance issues. Not to mention further improve temperature control.
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoMore RAM means more reserve power needed to flush it to permanent storage when the main power is cut. What's more likely to happen is exposing the low level storage and software to kernel drivers.
- scurvy 11y agoI think transfire was referring to RAM in the system to act as a pagefile read cache, not RAM on the SSD to act as a cache there. There's no power risk to an OS-level read cache.
