[QUOTE="datfreak, post: 963777, member: 19079"] I think i may have made a poor pick with the samsung 840 -- review : [url]http://reviews.cnet.com/internal-hard-drives/samsung-840-120gb-ssd/4505-9998_7-35507727.html[/url] seems it "wears" more quickly then other sdds in the review it mentions: " Per my rough calculations, if you write/rewrite about 10GB of data daily, it would still takes about 7 years for a 250GB Samsung 840 series drive to run out of P/E cycles." So we(as a family) watch about 5 hours of hd tv per day --which is about about 20gb/day.
