[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 769168, member: 63811"] HDDs have parts that have to move and will eventually fail. All of our SSDs will outlive their actual use. But I highly recommend MLC or even SLC if you can find such a thing. Also good to shop for enterprise SSDs. A used enterprise SSD probably still has a longer lifetime than a new consumer SSD. Keep your eyes out for Micron's on ebay. I managed to buy a 1 TB SSD rated 2 PB writes over its lifespan. I am using it for backup but even at the rate I am using, my math tells me this SSD would last me for decades. [/QUOTE]
