I just read Steven Stone's article in the latest Absolute Sound on computer audio. Did you know that SSD drives are not good for the OS of a computer?

"Silicon drives have a finite number of times that they can be successfully written and erased wihout write errors increasing. In short, silicon drives make excellent data drives but not optimal operating drives."

SSD drives write to a different segment of the drive each time. When all the segments are filled, the drive erases a segment and then writes. The drive is still faster than conventional spinners.

At least so I thought.

Thank God for the Absolute Sound!
