Make good backups, and if it burns up in a year (which it may or may not do regardless of what SSD-specific bullsh*t you do with it), say "thanks!" and go buy yourself one twice as big, twice as fast and half as expensive (and possibly more reliable). If it doesn't fail in a year or two, I suggest removing the SSD and a wool carpet and rubber shoes, or better yet, just look panicked, tell your significant other it failed and hope they don't look to closely, and rush out to buy the upgrade. The panicked look is important, though. Nick.
