But I happened to have had a small windfall burning a hole in my pocket and with Thai-flooded rotating disk prices being so high...well, let's just say that this was one of my relatively rare impulse purchases.
As to specs: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/ssd-520-specification.html ..and.. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-520-sandforce-review-benchmark,3124-11.html Paraphrasing from that Tom's article, this drive will be worn out in about 5 years if I write 7gigs of incompressible data to the drive every day. ..Which is probably unlikely. More likely is that 75 year figure...by which time I'll probably be running in a VM myself and LMS will be nothing more than a optional module installed to my virtual neo-cortex. So...back to "just use the damn drive." -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93717 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
