It can be good to know that SSDs are fast until you exhaust the cache by copying gigs of files around.

It doesn’t hurt to be aware of the limitations even if for the common case things are much better.

We're talking about devices capable of >2GB/s throughput, and acquiring footage <.5GB/s. No caching issues, but I'm not buying el cheapo SSDs either. These are all rated and approved by camera makers. It wasn't brought up because it's not an issue. For people that are wondering why camera makers approve or not particular recording media, this is part of the answer. But nobody was asking that particular question and instead the reply tried to rain on my parade.
