Why not?
I need space and reliability over speed.
Simple power failures can corrupt SSD's, and out here damned near every thunderstorm, high wind conditions, or blizard means the very real chance of a power outage. Also, spinning disk doesn't just fail immediately unless it's been hit with a tremendous power surge. The majority of the time, when a hard disk is dying, you still have time to save your data. Even after dying, I've recovered data from supposedly dead disks with a handful of tricks. For an SSD, it either works or it doesn't, and when it doesn't, there really ain't shit you can do to recover your data.
Plus, there's cost: An 8TB disk drive can be had for as low as $120 or $175 for something approaching enterprise class. An 8TB SSD is going to be 2-3 times that much.

All great points, definitely on the reliability. I'm just curious now, what kind of speeds are you getting? What brand of HDD are you using? And wouldn't a UPS mitigate the power issue?

I could see myself buying one for my extra old ass laptops just to give 'em a bit of a speed boost. I do have an SSD in my old Dell Mini 1012 netbook. It runs NetBSD so I really didn't need to use it, but it's in there.
