Ever noticed how the disk performance drops if you start e.g. copying multiple files at the same time?
if you have more (parallel) requests on the disk the access speed drops. if you have faster drive then the impact of such things gets reduced.

An end user accessing data from cloud storage may not see too much of a benefit, as you say, but a cloud based application (eg CodeProject Workspaces) that has the entire application, caching and database on hosted servers will always benefit from have its data storage on fast disks.

Imagine a service running on the cloud that needs to constantly access data - fast SSDs will be a major perf boost here.

The benefit isn't so much for a single user; but for multiple concurrent users. In IO bound workloads going to SSD storage can get a 5-10x reduction in server count/rackspace used (more of the latter since a server with a pair of mirrored SSDs is a lot smaller than one with a large raid for speed not capacity).

Most cloud servers actually use stripped SSD arrays.
|
|
|
|

power consumption and heat generation are much lower on SSDs. which might be a factor if you're using a lot of drives.

There was an absolutely great article The Insider reported on regarding SSD's. I'm caught up in fixing broken tests at the moment, otherwise I'd try and find it for you.

If it is the same that comes in my mind, I think I've read it.

If it's the one I remember (the vendor who was upgrading MySpace) it was dropped into the memory hole years ago in favor of newer case studies.

Then scroll to the bottom for the comments.
I have noted a couple of points about this 'Journalist' (and I am using the term journalist in a quite inaccurate way).

Your link to the 'other site' on The Telegraph just points back to the telegraph.

The torygragh does not beleive there are any other web sites so naturally they redirect everything back, just like Vorbis's head.

BBC Article quote David Folland, defending, told the court the incident was "not quite like" the scene involving the character Jaws in a James Bond film.
Defending! Remind me to never hire him if I need defending.
