Well, in all honestly, that IS going to cause problems regardless. The 
larger SSDs are fine (enough) for a phone, but for a PC that's used for 
anything more than the average joe's web/email/word combo, SSDs are 
still far too small.

I still have an "old fashioned" HDD-only in my PC (a laptop): 
dirt-cheap: <$100 for 1TB (try to find an SSD that remotely compares), 
and the ONLY time I ever have speed issues in either Win or Lin is when 
I'm running far too much crap and start hitting virtual memory swapping 
(or when some badly coded program soaks up all the CPU recourses, but 
SSDs cant help with that anyway).
