At least it will be quite and run on the smell of an oily rag. Cheers.

I have an SSD in my laptop, and I love the sound of silence.

The only disadvantages of SSD are the smaller maximum capacity compared with HDD, and the significantly higher cost if you go over about 120 GB. There's also the (small) possibility of catastrophic failure without any prior warning, so it's important to keep a good backup.
