Waiting for your storage knight in shining armour?
"SSD MLC, SLC 2D or 3D is a waste of money and unreliable"
Nonsense. If you have a problem with latency and I/O performance now, you can't just wait until something else comes along as the "perfect" solution. If your company's systems have hit the throughput buffers, if you are wasting money on expensive call centre staff hampered by slow responses or driven away customers due to dreadful web application performance, you need it fixed now.
As for SSD being unreliably, they are the fundamentally much better than HDDs. Of course both HDDs and SSDs need some form of redundancy to achieve the sorts of availability that major enterprises require, but there are well proven ways of achieving it. As for write endurance issues, with proper controllers (and the right type of SSDs for the right workload) this really isn't an issue and normal maintenance contracts will deal with replacements of failures.
That's even before you look at the reduced power. In short, for the right job, SSD is an absolute bargain whatever the future might bring.
