 In comment:ticket:60112:4 Fred Wright mentioned something that I'd like to
 explore in a separate ticket:

 > BTW, one should never rely on SSDs for primary storage.  Not only is
 flash storage inherently less reliable than magnetic storage, but flash
 reliability is one of the few technological parameters that's actually
 been getting *worse* with "advances", rather than better.  And a system
 whose primary purpose is to run builds is probably going to stress the
 flash write limits a lot.
