Yes, the first generation of SSDs had bad wear-leveling and there has
been some exceptionally bad eggs along the way, but we're long past that
point now. All brand name SSDs use wear leveling and unless you set up
pathological destruction cases (fill the drive to 99% and keep
re-writing the last 1% ) the drive will be obsolete before it wears out.


Maybe this still is a point, thinking at how easy is today to fill your local storage: for example, a "common" user will store video files. I don't because that one and other articles have scared me (and here definitely fear = lack of information)

So me too will like a more technical analysis if available

How long past that point do you think we are? Can you give some minimum "model" age? Say, OCZ Vertex since 2 and Intel since 320 ?


Efficiently as speed, yes. Efficiently as minimizing writes, no. On the
contrary, disk swapping is much faster on SSDs along with temporary
files and all the other secondary writes that are done throughout the
day. Hit them hard. They're designed for it.


ok for the swap speed, but in using the ssd with swap and temp files enabled, you are saying the opposite of articles around such as
http://www.howtogeek.com/62761/how-to-tweak-your-ssd-in-ubuntu-for-better-performance/

btw, if less free disk space = more destructive scenario, then the bigger the safer, and here the price/size ratio suggest a conservative use of SSD. Mine is 120GB and is 60% filled and I'd like not to go beyond that point, to avoid surprises
