Thanks for the link. I did some Googleing too and I'm really surprised at what I found. It sounds like SSDs don't have the projected longevity they did when I researched this a year or so ago. I'm troubled by the ever-lurking possibility of an HD failure and I thought SSDs would be my way out. Is an HD the best choice for reliability? - Grant
