[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 768602, member: 59833"] As noted, even data centers use SSDs and those drives are banged on constantly 24/7. So a normal user, no. That would be pointless anyway because of the way data is stored on a SSD (by flip-flopping gates electronically and not by orienting magnetic particles). And because of the wear-leveling features of SSDs, wipe programs do not work on SSDs. This is why Windows and other programs don't wipe (or defrag) them. You have to use Secure Erase programs.
