[QUOTE="uninfected1, post: 768701, member: 48923"] Very impressed with the range of views here. I was hoping it would make my choice easier but if anything it's made it more difficult:). I think the differences of opinion show there is no definitive answer as to which is more reliable. Depending on your needs, in some circumstances SSD might be preferable, in others, particularly long term storage, HDD might be a better choice. And of course this is before considering the big price difference between the two. Either way this thread will certainly be my 'go to' reference for SSD/HDD reliability from now on so thanks to all contributors. EDIT: Something I would be interested to know is whether SSD reliability/longevity is improving regarding write wear rate. [/QUOTE]
