I'm still not ready for the change until SSDs are reliable enough for 10+ years. I might buy one as my next computer upgrade in around 2017-18.
SSHD will be my choice now.

[@AudioTestsNReviews]

***** I'd say, SSHD won't come even close to the experience true SSD has to offer. I gotta say though, earlier generations of SSD were very well known to have reliability and premature failure problems (most notibly, OCZ), but that has very much improved in recent times.
I still think there are people out there who've fallen victim of SSD FUD. TechReport did an experiment called "The SSD Endurance Experiment" where they took several ssds and tortured them with writes and data rentention breaks. All of their SSDs failed after around 1,024 to 2,048 TB of writes.
In personal experience, I have 8 SSDs now, none of them has given me a single problem as of yet. For example, my laptop's main drive is a 512GB Crucial MX100, I've had it for around a year now, and I've written 14 TB worth to it already with regular usage.

+AudioTestsNReviews Don't forget SSD will recive new technologies like 3D Xpoint which it will be around 1000x faster, 10x bigger and 1000x more durable than the current SSDs, even reaching DRAM perfomance levels. Also SSD already outplaced all laptop type HDDs in capacity (2.5 HDD are limited at 1-2 TB when there are 2.5 inch SSDs rated at 4-6 TB as now and Samsung has plans to make a 8-16 TB 2.5 inch SSD)

[@AudioTestsNReviews]

Correct, that is me.

[@VAMPIREmusic]

Does SSD stand for solid state memory

[@AudioTestsNReviews]

Close. SSD stands for Solid State Drive actually.

[@VAMPIREmusic]

Oh, close enough though!
