Oh for a second there I thought you were saying it was plain old shit, rather than THE shit

Yeah well who "boots up" their PCs today.
You just leave it on standby then wake it up.

What's the difference in power consumption between these two options, for those of us who pay electricity bills?

Fuck all. A few watts doesn't even put a dent in your bill. HDDs use about 6-7W while SSDs use about 3-5W.

SSDs can't be rewritten that much, or else they'll break

If by much you mean 200gb a day for months

use them as a boot drive with your daily programs on them like firefox or IDEs and you'll be fine for years.

Unnoticeable in bills unless you live in shit countries, the performance is more noticeable on a laptop

I actually just bought a mSATA SSD for my laptop, it gets solid 500MiB/s.

Completely overrated. It is slightly faster on startup than before, but I notice no difference when actually running my machine. Everything I access is almost always already cached in RAM.

I want my 60$ back.

ssds are enough for now, try again in a few years

That's just a meme that was true for the first generation of SSDs. Modern ones will last just as long as a HDD.
