My two-penneth into this : The reference to bearing failures might be OK - however I think most HDD use voice coils for the head movement these days.. Mike ( are we going to see you guys at the LUV BBQ ? ) On 16/01/15 14:55, Toby Corkindale wrote:

You know, what you said doesn't really make sense. You acknowledge that SSDs offer significant benefits to your workload, and you seem to acknowledge that SSDs are actually completely fine for durability of your workload.. So why are you still saying you wouldn't use one? Well ..... yes SSD are very good, but given what I've seen with TB, I believe it would still be a premature end of life -- still it might be good for quite a while. If by "quite a while" you mean "If I received a million emails every day, my drive would still possibly last more than the rest of my life" :)
Anyway, never mind. It's your choice. I'm just trying to point out that once you check the numbers, this technology doesn't need to be scary to you. And once it's going, it's more reliable than your hard drives that can suffer stepper motor or bearing failures due to all their moving parts.
