The average person doesn't need tons of terabytes of space, they need a fast responsive drive with enough space to work with.

SSDs will never be as commonplace as HDDs until there's a breakthrough that allows as many read/writes as an HDD. Once that happens, the price will most likely decrease to only slightly higher than standard HDD. Last I checked, SSD is at $.49/GB, with HDD at $.045/GB.
