Agreed on both points.

It is not HDD support that bothers me, but the fact that Obelisk can be
crashed by an improper configuration (hardware in this case).

If it's stable with one obworker per SSD, will it be stable with a
hundred?

My argument is that is should fail predictably. That is, continue
working sluggishly instead of dying.
