It's not FUD. > http://techreport.com/review/24841/introducing-the-ssd-endurance-experiment > http://techreport.com/review/27436/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-two-freaking-petabytes Not news to me. Not much doubt about the benefits of SSD, that's why I italicized the /could/ word..... In any case, I have seen TB be absolutely awful with files on at least NTFS .... but I still use it, I won't use it with an SSD though at this stage, but I might one day. What I really want is for TB to store mail in Maildir folders, no matter what the client is -- I am positive that would be perfect no matter what the medium. There has been talk about TB having a Maildir storage option, but last I checked it wasn't progressing.
