You may want to reconsider solid state drives for use in write 
intensive operations such as Photoshop scratch disk.
According to Wikipedia solid state drives have slower write speeds 
than the conventional spinning type.

Go here (http://en.wikipedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive>
.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive) and scroll 
halfway down the article to the section on "Disadvantages". There are 
some other issues to be aware of as well.

Best,
