Solid State Hard Drives

09/13/2010 8:23 AM

Does CR4 members have experience with one like these? Is this the answer for crashed mechanical hard disks or is a different "crash" to be expected?

SSD are a fairly robust technology. Mechanically much more so than traditional spinning-disk hard drives. But like all things they're not 100% failure-proof. They have a limited number of write cycles for one thing, although they implement workarounds to minimise the effect of this. But for some applications they may not be the ideal choice.

Below is a site with several informative links on the subject.
