I just replaced a friend's Samsung 60GB SSD. It stopped booting Windows
XP. I did a Windows check disk and it was able to recover the drive,
then Linux dd to a new hard disk, and she's back in business. As soon as
the new hard drive is broken in, I'll try to stress test the SSD to see
what's up. I have no idea how long the drive was working, I'm guessing a
couple of years. I prefer the older technology, and maybe save some
money to put into a RAID or decent backup.
