Morning All,
Just a quick question, it looks like the computing world is moving towards SSD drives now for their pure speed over hard drives but I have a question relating to the life of them.
I'm presuming they are based on the exact same thing as USB memory sticks (flash memory) which usually have a max read / write times of around 10,000 or so?
Given the amount of times that windows writes to your hard drive during a normal windows session just browsing the internet or somehting similar aren't the lifespan of these drives going to be very short.
P.S i just plucked the number of 10,000 out the air as i "think" i read it somewhere. I'm probably drastically wrong?
