you are right it would be a silly to copy all of it to disk but its quite
common
to have around 8gb active , most machines i used these days tend to be using
at least 2GB if not 4GB of their available memory.

SSD longevity is getting better but i don't see it matching HDD for some
time ,
There isn't any real incentive for manufacturers to increase the
reliability of consumer
SSD's beyond basic levels as they will just loose sales volume when they
are still
paying off the R&D.If consumers don't like it they will just pay more for
enterprise class ones.

The most important things i've learnt about storage is everyone needs
different
things from it and spending time considering how you will use it before you
buy pays dividends.

Especially seeing as most consumers just want MOAR MEGGERBITES! (in the same
way they want MOAR MEGGERPIXELS from their cameras, MOAR HOARSEPOWER from
their cars, MORE WHATTS from their stereos and MOAR SATIETY from their
food)

*sigh*
