9 Thanks for the link. I did some Googleing too and I'm really
10 surprised at what I found. It sounds like SSDs don't have the
11 projected longevity they did when I researched this a year or so ago.
12 I'm troubled by the ever-lurking possibility of an HD failure and I
13 thought SSDs would be my way out. Is an HD the best choice for
14 reliability?
