Just my 2 cents... |

If the SSD cannot survive having data copied to it there's something |
| 35 |
seriously wrong with the drive. I don't think you should be overly worried |
| 36 |
about this but I do understand it's new technology so you want to be |
| 37 |
careful. Bravo for that. |

Possibly to ease your concerns a little bit use smartctl -a /dev/SSD and |
| 40 |
get to know your drive that way. You can most likely watch the drive temp |
| 41 |
as recorded by the drive. |
