It's unlikely SSDs will be used in PVRs as it's a bad idea to keep writing data to an SSD (the way they're handled in PCs is different to HDDs e.g. defrag is turned off to prevent too many write cycles). As the V6 STB is constantly writing to the drive (so that you can pause & rewind live TV) the lifespan of the disc would be badly impaired. See here and here
