[QUOTE="hedrick, post: 76601562, member: 239032"] You’re confusing two things. SSDs have a finite lifetime. But with recent models that should be long enough not to be an issue. However there are lousy SSDs. If a drive fails quickly, it’s not because of limited SSD life. It’s a bad drive. The limited life is caused by things that happen slowly over time. There are programs that will tell you how far along that curve your drive is. Fir Linux it’s smartctl, but I’m sure there are windows and Mac versions. For normal PCs and laptops a good quality consumer SSD is fine. For certain types of research, IO rates are high enough that you need enterprise grade SSDs. [/QUOTE]
