Depends on how hard they're flogged, I guess. Those on my desktop are
ten or twelve year old IDE jobs, but they only run about 4 hrs per day,
spinning idly much of that time. It sounds like a good SSD would just
about see me out.
Incidentally, has anyone had trouble with the lurid red SATA cables from
China? I haven't had mine long enough to experience any, but there are
one or two claims of the copper corroding to powder after 3 years or so.
(I've set "calendar" to prompt me annually, just in case that's the
cause of future flakiness.)
