I'm not sure the advice to disable the browser cache is such good advice.

It's terrible advice, especially considering the point of the page is about optimising your computer. "Now let's turn off something that speeds up your web browsing..." - yeah, thanks!

I stopped reading at that point - why buy an SSD if you're going to force everything to download over an internet connection to preserve it? Just use an HDD with caching, it'll be faster.

Why is that? Provided you have sufficient RAM ?

The browser cache is about caching network resources and not about ram, pages you visited yesterday are cached there and will have no place in ram.
