Hi Joshua, Myths about SSD's arise from early days. You have a new computer with presumably a current SSD. Such SSD's can sustain petabyte (that's petabyte) writes before they fail. If you write a terabyte of Frescobaldi data to the disk in a year, which is utterly unreasonable, you can expect to get 1000 years use out of it. The electronics in your computer will fail sometime in that period. :-) There are admittedly other factors relating to hard drive failure, but mechanical drives suffer the same factors.
I wish people would relax about this topic or read the extensive literature on contemporary drive testing, Here's a five paragraph summary article on this type of testing: http://www.zdnet.com/article/worried-about-ssd-wear-you-probably-dont-need-to-be/ There also exist many very learned papers on the same topic, showing very high endurance figures for consumer SSD's.
