I was wondering linux, if your custom computer business offers SSD? (type of hard drive)

Well...customer picks the parts so if you want solid state disk then you can have ssd. Of course it costs more for a lot less space compared to SATA drives so it's not as popular yet.

the thing I like about them is that they're super fast. but... then again, its the capacity.

Unless you're trying to access the entire hard drive in one go, the little bit of speed they offer in the SSD drives isn't that noticeable. There are sata drives with 10k RPM speed available. More expensive than regular drives but cheaper than SSD with a lot more space.

the big lure of a SSD is that it has no moving parts - you could throw the thing across a room while it were writing data and you wouldn't corrupt anything (in theory and assuming you had a nice long cable and the impact of it landing wasn't too destructive)

Putting that into a tower, where it's not going to move at all, kinda defeats the purpose. Now, putting that into a laptop that you're going to throw into your backpack and run across campus with... that's my dream computer
