I thought that SSD lifespan was more influenced by the number of writes at the same place than by the volume of writes. I mean : if you overwrite the same file each second the SSD would fail in less time than if you wrote a different file in a different place each second. But I could be wrong. -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org
