[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 918909, member: 83059"] I don't know about their reliability either, though looking at SSD benchmarks they usually have worse characteristics for small random reads and writes. I would probably be okay with using them to store my video games and bulk content but I would strongly recommend a brand name SSD for a system drive. (As an aside: It's worth noting that filesystem fragmentation happens on SSDs too. I have a database server on an Intel SSD and over the course of a year the MSSQL database file has about 2 million fragments.... Not even joking, TWO MILLION! When I nuked the DB and created it again from backup, server performance went up about 20-30% across the board. It's not as devastating as on a HDD but fragmentation does result in performance loss on SSDs too. It's usually not worth the strain on the SSD to defragment it as often as a HDD since HDD defrag is often more about grouping related files together more than it is about defragmenting specific files.... but it might be worth analyzing the fragmentation of SSDs of systems you've had running for years and deciding if it's worth either running a SSD-aware defragger or just restoring the system from a backup) [/QUOTE]
