Spinning disks seem an awful lot like victorian technology taken too far. In the long term, what's *not* to like about the idea of fully solid state storage?
Personally, I'm averse to using SSD with any important long term data is the nightmare that I could one day wake up to find everything gone without any means of recovery. Compared that to a hard disk, which barring catastrophic physical damage, I could pay somebody to just read the data off the platter.
As a performance boosting intermediary storage, yes, long term... maybe not quite yet.
