Why?
I've read most of the articles in this thread,
and I haven't seen anything that persuades me
SSD would be a good investment in my case,
either in servers or laptops.

As far as swap is concerned, I'm not sure this has ever
gone outside the 6GB RAM on my server,
or even the 2GB RAM on my laptops.

As far as speed is concerned,
the only operations I would like to speed up concern the internet, 
and I don't think SSD would help in this case.
