I have been using SSDs for over 7 years now and never worried about them overheating. |

In my opinion, if the drive can't handle a copy operation of 20GB (how much bigger is your root partition?) it should be replaced from day one. |

I only keep the portage compile dir and browser caches in RAM, the rest stays on the SSD. And as I mentioned in a previous thread about SSDs, I only had one failure after 6.5 years. (That drive also had SWAP on it and I didn't offload the browser caches yet on that one). |

Like Mark said, it is good to keep an eye on it, but if you use decent brand SSDs (Samsung and Intel), you should be able to expect 5+ years of heavy usage. |
