Tony, when you do your FLAC to WAV conversion is that done 'on the fly' just prior to each music file being played? Or is it more of a batch process? I'm not sure I understand but it would make sense not perform a lot of unnecessary writes to the SSD, and doing your conversions in RAM will be lightning fast.
In most music server setups SSD write endurance isn't a problem because well over 90% of the operations to SSD will be reads. Besides, the endurance of MLC SSDs have gone up significantly just in the past couple years. So much so that the lines between MLC and SLC have blurred. Many enterprise class storage systems that used SLC SSDs have recently gone to MLC. SLC is already rare, very expensive, and likely to become unavailable in short order..... because it is too expensive and no longer cost effective.
