Be careful with SSD's. I bought one and have replaced it three times in 2years.. The guy who deals with the repairs said he would not use them for business (talking about multi-cell SSD's here, not single cell's that cost alot more) - he said the average lifespan is 1.5yrs, brand agnostic.

Tom, if you want to convert a string of ASCII chars into a number and do the inverse process, then the informational content of both is the same, only the representation changes. Are you hoping that the manipulation of one representation is more convenient to manipulate than the other in some way?
