Maybe 40 boots per year for me, not including fiddling. But there are two other advantage I've been finding to SSDs on laptops
- power consumption, - I am definitely less cautious about moving my laptop around while it is [intensely] operating, which is definitely a comfort improvement over the X31 with no SSD (ok, this last one I could probably get with the accelerometers in my new X41t. But when I got it (brand "new") Jan 2011 it came with an SSD already... The problem I have with the SSD on the X41t is that it is in some sort of custom casing which seems very well put together and that I would need to "breek" if I want to connect it on another interface (back in my X31, or on a USB etc". So my backup strategy for the moment is cloning back to the _whole_ X31 (2.5", 7200 rpm drive). But such cloned Win 7 Pro boots fine on the X31, it does not recognize ANY of the network cards, etc. etc. Life is hard.

I mean, I boot at most 30 times a year, and that includes a few multiple-reboots when I'm fiddling with some experimental kernel feature. Unless you're a kernel developer, I don't see boot time as relevant, Stefan _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
