[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 1886512, member: 18314"] True, but by the time an SSD fails, it'll probably be 5+ yrs old and your spinning HDDs would have probably already died. If you filled your SSD to capacity and reformatted it every day, it'd still last 10 years. Computer technology evolves so quickly that you'll never get close to the limited amount of write cycles before you naturally want to replace it with something twice as fast, with twice as much memory, for half the price. Full disclosure, I'm running RAID 0 SSDs for my OS drive and RAID 1 HDDs for my storage drive, but only because it's much cheaper per GB to run HDDs than SSDs, not because of fears of my SSDs failing.
