Couldn't agree more :-)
But you might get a pleasant surprise: it can be faster.....

thanks for your reply i know it will be faster just wanted to know if there
would or could be potential problems.

I will have to upgrade next summer when 11.0 comes to an end.
That's when I will go to ssd system disk.

I'm not looking at performace issues there.
The reasons are power consumtion, silence and durability.
There are disks with write endurance of 5 to 10 years with 1 TB/day.

Of course then we speak about SLC type of disks.

Later everything else in my computer will be going to the same direction,
less heat, less power consumtion, less noise (not that I'd have noise
problem now).

I haven't had any performance issues after going to quad proc and 8 GB
of RAM, yesteyear. I'm not looking for more performance in any area.

I'd like to have an installation on an SSD and seven years without having
to change disks or to upgrade the system, other than security updates.

You probably won't notice that much difference, although there will be
some speed increase purely because there's no head to move and no disc
to rotate. Where you would notice the difference between an SSD and a
normal HD is when used in a laptop. Again, you probably won't see much
difference in transfer speeds, but you will see a large difference in
power usage, and so battery life.
