 But doesn't a SSD move also reduce capacity? (then again if the servers are old enough the HDD could have similar capacity)

It depends what size drive you're running.  If you read the case study, MySpace made the change for their cacheing servers.  Basically RAM on hard drives.  So performance is everything, not capacity.  They needed 12 magnetic drives using RAID to get the I/O that one of the SSDs can provide.  I'm sure they have other storage arrays using 1TB or larger drives that provide long term storage for all the data.
