I'll respond to Rich's points in a bit but on this point I think |
| 17 |
you're both right - new SSDs are very very reliable and I'm not overly |
| 18 |
worried, but it seems a given that forcing more and more writes to an |
| 19 |
SSD has to up the probability of a failure at some point. Zero writes |
| 20 |
is almost no chance of failure, trillions of writes eventually wears |
| 21 |
something out. |
