One thing that I've heard about SSD drives is that they may have a limited life span in that they are only meant to be read from/written to a few thousand times. Now as a secondary drive, or external storage drive, this amounts to a reasonable life span for the drive. But as the base drive for an OS, particularly Windows, the life is considerably shortened. Windows reads and writes pretty much all of the damn time, so thousands of read/write cycles could be used up in a matter of months instead of years. Maybe someone with more technical knowledge than me could chime in as well.
I recall someone blogging about their build of a near silent PC to act as a media server. They were using a SSD drive and running Linux to prevent the windows read/write issues.
Good luck and post how it turns out either way.
