That is quite irrelevant.
 
All computation is performed in cache/RAM and the attached drives,
of whatever kind, play no role.  Even heavy disk I/O is always buffered
in RAM.
 
Thus, the gimmicky SSDs are only useful as a badge of technical fashion,
just like spoilers on a car.

Some spoilers are functional.

And some people run sophisticated virtual reality simulations
that need access to more _fast_ disk space than will fit in RAM.

You must be a piker.
