This might sound silly but for me it's a matter of principle, I believe 
in frugality for it's own sake, it cultivates the 'right' mindset.  But 
from what I understand these SSDs are very good at reallocating cells 
that have reached their write limits, so a nearly empty disk -- 
everything I have is under 30G and the disk is 240G -- gives lots of 
room for that kind of thing.  smartctl reports the disk has 92% of its 
life left.  I guess with solid state they can be quite sure of that  
number, vs. the rather harder to predict life of mechanical parts.
