My current understanding is that a mostly empty SSDS electronics will
fail before it forgets what it's written but a mostly full and busy SSD
may start forgeting fairly soon, unless it shuffles data which wou

Don't know how the Intel SSD's compare performance wise but you can

I've been using an inexpensive Kingston SSD for more than a year now in
a 4.6 box. It works fine and I'

Yes, but I that kind of performance is over-kill for a mail server.
Unless you are pushing well over 1 gb/s
buying a new SSD to replace your "burned out" one every year is still
cheaper than building a 15k sas drive raid set with equivalent
performance.

I'm not sure if that is a good idea. SSDs are Flash memory and have a
limited read/write cycle. The firmware tries to optimize this by not
always writing to the same address. But s
