I'm not arguing, because you're right, going purely by the numbers. That's why I'm giving the technology a chance in my laptop - but I have yet to see a 10 year old SSD drive, for obvious reasons... Smile

My company is in the process of replacing all of our laptops (tens of thousands) with SSDs because magnetics fail so regularly every 3-4 years.

That's because they are sensitive to physical handling and temperature alterations, dust, etc. - laptops are inherently exposed to such things much more than desktops or servers.

SSD's tolerate those far better, for various reasons - plus they have a low / no seek time, low latency and high throughput too, in most cases. Price, data retention and endurance are the trade-offs. Still, acceptable in most cases - at least as we know / estimate it today.

Very true...in fact not unlike a gigged Kronos eh? Wink I think for these reasons and the live streaming, there's no other choice except to use a SSD.

But, how about using a small HDD (2.5" and <100gb) along with RAM-based SSD? The HDD loads data to the RAM SSD upon start-up only and does nothing else after that. That would be the most robust scheme in terms of endurance and data retention.
