I've seen that implied, but not explicitly stated, nor with "quantification" (i.e., supporting evidence). > What are you trying to do? > Measure the daily byte-count of your writes and compare that to some > hypothetical standard or threshold above which it would be suggested to > employ an HDD rather than a SSD? As mentioned in another post, I am starting to fear for the reilability of an HDD (DOAs, early failures, unwilingness of the vendor / manufacturer to provide a warranty), and, therefore, I am trying to determine if an SSD could be a better choice. (Someday, I expect it will be -- is that day here?)
