The real world advantages of SSD are heat and noise. Noise is especially a concern in the Apple TV. While out of the box I'm sure Apple has kept it pretty darn quiet, most drives as they age produce more noise.

As an example the drive noise on my DirecTV HR21 is enough to be heard from our TV watching position easily. Its fan is as well. In the future the use of SSD could allow for a fanless design, or at least a design that requires the fan to run a lot less often. That plus no HD noise (which is really what bugs us) would be great.]]>Jun 14th 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/14/apple-tv-gets-the-ssd-treatment/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/14/apple-tv-gets-the-ssd-treatment/Jun 14th 2008 2:09PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/14/apple-tv-gets-the-ssd-treatment/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/14/apple-tv-gets-the-ssd-treatment/Jun 14th 2008 6:16PM
