Update: its five years later with this entry A lot has changed! SSD's are now 1000's of times better than what we were using back then. But, unlike desktops & laptops this data is not altered as often and better quality SSD's are used (more expensive) and use high speed inter-connections. Now in a data center using SSD's as a front end storage makes sense as the speed it offers across the servers has its advantages. If its in a desktop or NAS device that is not being moved about it a HD drive is still ideal. A HD over it's lifetime can be rewritten a lot more times, but the mechanics of the drive can fail. But, the point still remains SSD's do wear out. ![]() Granted these were early versions of SSD's & we are very hard on constant changing of data on these laptops so that could be a factor as well.

But even still, the amount of data on the device that is altered wears it. ![]() A device that is mobile like a laptop I do think it is a better fit. I'm not so sure if SSD's are more reliable in all cases. As to the question on reliability between a HD Vs SSD storage. ![]()
