Fanless, low power, and OS can be installed on SSD, usb flash stick, Microdrive, SD(HC), CF, you name it. They all have usb adapters so that way your system will remain totally silent.
True, my old IDE HDD is not compatible with new boards, so some flash based storage would be nice.
I've been using flash-based on a few of my systems for a few years now and I've worked pretty much flawlessly. Though on those I have never ventured away from the ext2 filesystem since it has no journaling. However, as cheap as they are now (usb sticks that is), it wouldn't be a big deal to have a couple on stand-by in case on died.
