Oh, and that is 60,000 cycles per sector. If I remember correctly, the magneto layer on the HD platter is between 10,000 and 20,000 read/write cycles per sector. However, the highspeed spinning actually slowly causes magnetic layer degradation. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten

Apparently, the biggest problem with solid-state memory is the controller. The memory is estimated to last 60,000 rewrite cycles before starting to fail, which is significantly longer than HD technology. What fails is the memory allocation controller. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email

Yes, but Apple is under agreements with music labels that they will not do this with their music app. So, you need to use one of the many third-party music apps available on the App Store. I have a couple which are pretty good. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile
