[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1887351, member: 5655"] If anyone is interested on the life of SSDs, we replaced all our company laptops about a year ago. These laptops are in use by guys truly "in the field" in Oklahoma and Texas connecting to natural gas meters. The conditions for equipment are less than optimal. We decided to go with SSDs due to the dust and wind in these environments though we have the identical setup for office laptops. In the past year we've lost around 7 or 8 SSDs and they have been a mix of field and office machines so I don't feel the harsh environment has much effect on this type of drive. We had one actually melt the other day. Cooked the drive from the inside. They perform well, that's for sure, but from a durability standpoint, I can't say they are superior to the spinning drives.
