I also would like to comment that btrfs is ready for the future storage
- the solid state drive. Btrfs performs well on both HDD and SSD.

SSD is still very expensive when compared to traditional hard disks.

*If* btrfs supported compression, I would second your opinion that btrfs is (will be, when it's stable) ready for the future storage.

SSD is still very expensive when compared to traditional hard disks.

When measured by GB/$, sure.

Many data centers, though, care more about (ops/sec) / ($ * power * heat). SSDs look much more compelling by that metric.
