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.
