Only for desktop/laptop use, and only if you don't have extra-high levels of write activity and/or you are willing to replace them on the same 3-year cycle you would use when replacing (magnetic) hard drives.
- blasdel 17y agoPlease stop spreading such baseless FUD. They don't beg any more replacement than the other SATA SSDs you could purchase. You yourself admit that they aren't any less reliable than magnetic drives.
- briansmith 17y agoNot true. There are lots of SSDs with much higher longevity, using a variety of techniques. The Intel X25-M is optimized for capacity/cost, not longevity. Depending on your workload they can very well be less reliable than magnetic drives, especially if judge by the manufacturers' specifications.
