My operating system files churn as much as anyone, but I don't intend to use SSDs for files that will be written and rewritten.
I'll use it for the stuff that I want to write once and keep for 30 years.
I have terabytes of such, already.
- rasz_pl 12y agoSSD is not for you then, data retention is very poor (single digit years, or few months until read speed degrades in case of Samsung 840 :P). Whats more mere reading degrades flash, current SSDs keep a log of how many times sector has been read, and reallocate that sector when it triggers because read operations upset stored values.
