Video editing is probably a good target. When we do any kind of HD video editing you are looking at raw video upwards of the 60gb range just for one video. Especially if you are building out renders being able to access those on a local harddrive instead of over firewire/usb would be a godsend. With that said when you are using files that large, complex backup systems are necessary so internal ssd probably wont even meet that need.

Or plain video capture for pro / pro-consumer. The local cable access station in Portland, Oregon[3] uses a mix of Aja Ki Pro [2] and Cinedecks[1]. The Cinedecks use SSDs like cartridges, and will record 1080p 4:4:4 ProRes. The Cinedecks are real nice to be able to use a couple of 512GB SSDs like a cartridge and pop them in and out to record anything from a City Council / School Board meeting or for public use of recording a 3 camera shoot of a live performance. The Ajas not so much since they use a proprietary shaped cartridge which has SATA connector to dock into the unit. They also have a FW800 connector to off-load data off the drive when undocked from the Aja recorders. I believe you can swap the drives in the plastic housing, but it's not as slick as just using a bare SSD.
