That was a rumor (possibly true when they first hit the market) a few years ago, but I'm told by a number of people who have them it has been rectified. I would verify this before buying one, but I don't think it's the case anymore. My son has been running one in a Linux server as the system drive for about 2 years and claims it is like lightning. He was aware of the problem you mentioned and did a lot of research, and he concluded it was not a problem. It goes 24/7 and is a busy machine (he is an electrical engineer and ~2 years away from a PhD, so I trust his judgement.) 73, Paul VE1DX

Don't know about number of rewrites but check your motherboard and operating system carefully before trying to add a SSD.

There is limited support for SSD in Windows XP - it lacks TRIM so is not efficient in allocation of space. Second be careful with interface specifications - I purchased an SSD for my main system but its interface was SATA3 (6 Gb) only and the the motherboard only supported SATA (1.5 Gb) and SATA2 (3 Gb). I selected the drive I did based on reliability information as the older SSDs with the SATA/SATA 2 interfaces appeared to be substantially less reliable than the current generation of devices. 73, ...

The Intel SSDs have some nice health monitoring software that you can run to
show you how the drive is doing. I have the following setups: 1. Small 40GB Intel SSD on my main system for paging file and browser temp files (Win XP) 2. 120 GB Samsung SSD on my laptop (Win 7) 3. 120 GB Intel SSD on my netbook (Win 7) - really makes the netbook come to life Plus, do not defrag an SSD 73, Cliff K3LL From: dxlab@yahoogroups.com [mailto:dxlab@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Subich, W4TV Sent: Monday, August 06, 2012 5:18 AM To: dxlab@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: SSD's for replacements WAS :Re: [dxlab] DXKeeper 10.3.7 won't launch resolved Don't know about number of rewrites but check your motherboard and operating system carefully before trying to add a SSD.
