If you want to find a useful answer, you will need to dig much
deeper into this matter.

What harddisk? A US$ 50 2.5" laptop harddisk ? or a US$ 1000
15.000 rpm SAS server drive ?

What SSD ? NAND Flash, NOR Flash, single cell, multi level cell ?

As a rule of thumb: Flash doesn't just replace magnetics.
To justify the use of flash memory, you will need at least one
other reason. 
And --very important, imho-- a file and operating system that is
tuned to flash, while all current mainstream OSs are disk-tuned
only :-)
