SSDs are ideal for reading a lot, but writing rarely.
I'm not clever enough to tell you if their speed has suffered much since we put them in, but I can tell you that they are still very fast, and as I said, for the price I'd happily chuck them away whenever they wear out.Comment

Bugger me, the price of SSDs has plummeted then... I bought an Intel X25M 160Gb for £300 just 1 year ago!
Worth every penny tho, gave me ageing desktop a new lease of life!
EDIT: Oh, it's a hybrid. my bad.It's about time I changed this sig...Comment

From reading reviews of SSDs, they only seem to talk about write failing... but read being safe so even a broken disk isn't losing data. This is reviewing for general PC use, not in server farms though... but then from talking to a guy from SNIA, in a big data-centre you view normal HDDs as pretty unreliable.
Been thinking about an SSD, but one of these hybrids sounds interesting. Does the hybrid part mean the flash part gets an extra-special hammering as all data goes 'through' it? Maybe that's what was being discussed, I tuned out a bit during the bickering. AtW do you really know this stuff or are you just opinionated... if the former your advice is appreciated.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

No need to get so upset. The device retains it's 1 or 0 by switching from one state to another, nothing more complicated than that. Unless it's multiple states with which you are referring.
This can occur numerous times.
But as I said before, if the driver operates the product like an idiot it's going to fail, the hardware could operate indefinitely.
I understand now why I'm paid the big bucks...
I bought an intel one for my laptop, seriously worth the money even at €200 for 80GB.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Like a normal hard drive expect the most accessed data resides on 4gig of flash.
Awesome performance, booted up and ready to use in 18 seconds from cold.
500Gig, not bad for £95Coffee's for closersComment
