What should we do with outdated, but highly-popular questions?

Example: We have a question about SSDs, which is now two years old.

Are SSDs worth the money?

I've been hearing a lot of hype about the SSDs recently. I'm planning to buy a new machine as soon as Windows 7 gets released. My question is are SSDs worth the money on a new Windows 7 Laptop?

Now, here's this one:

Solid-State Drives pros and cons?

There's already a thread here about the pros and cons of SSDs that has a lot of votes, so it tends to show up towards the top when you search for SSD info on here. Unfortunately, a lot of the info about pricing, reliability and performance is badly out of date.

Same question, two years later: now that SSDs are cheaper, faster and presumably more reliable, what are the pros and cons?


I am somewhat tempted to close it as too localized or NARQ (for obvious reasons) but still we could get some useful information from it as a CW.

My main argument is: I'd rather have current and up-to-date information than a too popular two-year old question with its answers.
