Ok, these are probably embedded appliances that don't get much storage
traffic. I was thinking about different kind of servers - database,
web or file servers.

I'm not sure how you define "embedded" and "appliance". It's small, but
it's a fully functional PC (except for the lack of a graphics adapter)
that runs a full FreeBSD installation.

Of course, I mean no disrespect to the machines :) I know they are fully
functional - there's really no difference once you get a full kernel to
boot on them. But you'll agree that there's not much file system traffic
on a network router (with the services you listed).

I'm interested in how SSD could help me (if they actually can) with
large-ish systems running web servers with associated software (e.g.
database) and office-like servers. So far, I'm having trouble
envisioning a seek-intensive storage application that's also temporary
(to avoid keeping the "real" data on flash drives). Maybe a mail server
queue, with mailboxes on standard drives?
