While everyone criticizes about the theoretical failure rates of SSD drives, I have had 3 hard drives die on me. (Two of them taking all my info and NOT recoverable). One by an accidental drop...SSD proof. Two because of mechanical failure...SSD proof.
16 gigs should be a minimum for OS drives. Bigger drives are nice but way more expensive now.
People seem to forget that there are two types of Flash drives: MLC (which has WAY more capacity but are way too slow for an OS. Low cost)
SLC (which is VERY fast but of course cost way more...)
Still a young technology, but in a couple more years, it will be standard stuff in all our gadgets!
