great boot times.
Apparently if you take an SSD past 75% they crap out. Or so hands on trial, :angel: , and Dealer advice indicates.
that def used to be a problem. im not sure if it still happens with the latest gen of ssd'sQuote:

they die way to often... fine as a boot drive but i certainly wont use them to store critical data... okay for home if your backed up well.
i assume you have a much sample size than my 5 ssd'sQuote:

i use one in my own machine as well, in the manner mentioned above
boot from it and have pretty much anything that i need to keep mapped over to a raid array
much easier to have a safe place than try to recover that which is lost.
I put an SSD into my wife's 5 yr old Asus. I'm expecting that to extend its life by 2-3 years.
I upgraded to a SSD in my MacBook. I use time machine to back up to a NAS. This SSD 95% full. I need to rejig my system so most stuff is on the NAS.
