Nowadays I use SSDs in all my home machines (MacMini, laptop, gaming desktop). It really speeded them up, since seek times are so much faster. My unix server runs with a SSD for more than a year now, and I haven't had any problems with it.
Just for fun, I once configured two Intel SSDs in a stripe to see how fast it would be. After tweaking the stripe block size a bit (this made a huge difference!) the stripe maxed out at 400 megabyte/sec sustained read. That's almost a CDROMs' worth of data, each second ;-)
