40GB is enough for an OS and Myth itself (not video storage).<br>

<div>I doubt you'll find a good justification, mythtv simply won't
see much, if any, benefit running on an SSD. There are other, cheaper,
ways to achieve all of the advantages that an SSD might offer. Namely
silent operation and low power use/heat generation. So, sorry, can't
give you an excuse to buy one.</div>

I'd have thought just buying a cheap USB stick and using that would be
just as good as using as SSD and much cheaper....<br>
<br>
I run the Mythbuntu liveCD from a USB stick to turn my work laptop into
a secondard frontend and it boots in <30s to the desktop, then I
just have to run the frontend.<br>
<br>
If it "wears out" the USB stick, I'll just get another one, it was only
£10.<br>
