I think for my home machine I still prefer a series of regular HDDs in a RAID configuration, mostly because of the cost (for an HDD it's about 10-20 cents per GB, the SSD I just got was $2.66 per GB) and bigger size. But for my netbook where I am carrying it around a lot and it's more likely to get bumped or dropped, the SSD makes more sense. I don't need the big 1TB size drive in the netbook since I mostly use it for email and web browsing. The SSD also uses less power, but not sure if or how much it will affect overall battery life.
