I have been using an enterprise-class Intel SSD (X25-E I think) for about one year now in my workstation so help speeding up the build/linking process of a large C++ project. This has made all the difference in development speed for me. The disk gets punished a lot, lots of file copies and read/write operations. To date I haven't had any problems (nor have I heard of any from colleagues who are using them in the same way). I wouldn't care much about data loss though since only temporary files are on there.
