Just bought an SSD

[Dhalmel]

I'm not really complaining about the shorter life span, I was merely pointing it out as a con. I personally don't like the the SSD lifespan being based on writes, but Looking at HDDs, they both have a similar life cycle. I think for HDD after so many years, each following year has Double the chance of the drive failing. Overall if you're not constantly writing data to a SSD, it should last just as long as a HDD. Remember all technology has an expiry, even if it's not mentioned. On things like a Vid Card or the CPU, the life span is heavily influenced on it's usage and keeping within safe operating temperature as suggested on most hardware boxes.
Take care of your tools and they will last a long time.

It wasn't really pointed towards you but users in general, there's people who do completely unnecessary things with their OS & caching that it does more harm than good just to save those few writes.


There's also those very very few idiots who are still running XP with a SSD...who complain about poor performance after a few months of use.
