They are better utilized for either OS use, or Fast cache use. Fast caching means the OS should be on a main drive and the SSD as a cache to drive for common used programs, to offset memory. Once your main OS is loaded it isn't as big an issue, having FFXIV cached for common loaded data will speed it up, as well as most other programs.

Poppign one in a laptop with dual drive support makes a world of a difference.
Yea but you really dont need to have a lot of them, and an SSD isn't required to make a system run, it just makes whatever you put on it load faster. Tis the price of conveiniece. They'll never drop lower than HDD's. I only have a 128gb and really dont need any more than that. Only going to have Windows, FFXIV, and some select games that I play all the time on them. the rest gets the HDD.
