Yes, the technology is very different from rotating media, and it is coming into a world where OSes 
were custom designed for rotating media.

The OSes will eventually catch up and be tweaked to understand and care for the SSD but between now 
and then the user has to do stuff.

In fact the situation is already miles ahead of just two years ago.

SSDs are one area where buying the latest technology will save you a lot of grief.

And bottom line, it is write access that suffers from all of this.  Read speeds are pretty much not 
affected by all of the issues.
