[QUOTE="pilehave, post: 725471, member: 71550"] SSD lifetime is not a matter of moving or non-moving parts, it is the repetetive writing to the SSD especially for MLC-based drives. SLC's are expected to have a remarkably longer lifespan than MLC. Time will have to tell. Now, quality and wear-management has improved a lot in the last year or so, but we have had several SSD's that have died within a 2-year span with regular use. Typical failure scheme is first that SMART reports that the drive has faulty sectors, then the corrupted data and then the OS refusing to boot. I myself use a SSD in my own HTPC for OS. So I'm not saying that they're not handy and fast, but consider the use-case at hand. At least buy SLC-based drives ;) [/QUOTE]
