Well traditional harddrives have write limits also. And, like any computer person, have had more then one harddrive fail prematurely. And, more importantly for the direction that PCs are going.. when you drop your laptop on it's corner you won't crash the read heads on a solid state disk. AND, SSDs for most purposes are much much faster. Low seek times, you see.

A lot of the disk-form-factor stuff out there has mediocre performance. However there is a company with a product on the market that's about 100-200x faster than disk on both reads and writes, both random and sequential, and especially on mixed read/write loads. The pricing is about $25/GB which isn't all that bad when you break it down.
