Assembled illuminati; whilst purchasing some second hand 4GB DDR3 240 pin RAM sticks ; at Dan IC Design and SYnthesis Computer Equipment--Home &/or Small Business - Springvale, VIC 50 Garnsworthy St, Springvale VIC 3171 We started discussing SSD boot drives and it was suggested that SSD boot drives with both sata 3.0 and PCIe interfaces suffer from a fairly severe slow-down problem after about 6 - 12months use. 1/ Has anyone noticed such a problem ? 2/ If such problem exists any theories ? - all I could think was that somehow boot drives were subject to extreme wear and the reallocated 'cells' were at the end and somehow the replacement 'out-of-sequence' cells; were slowing the drive down in the manner of a fragmented rotating drive ? regards Rohan McLeod
