its not that they die easily. flash ram be it ssd, usb key, sd card etc all have a limited number of writes. a higher iops drive should last longer then a lower rated drive. sppeds and iops aren't guaranteed. its up to, not that it will.darksusperiaWhat he said. The first generation SSDs to hit the consumer market was a brand new technology that the manufacturers barely had figured out yet, the rest of the industry even less. Most of the scary looking and extremely detailed "how to tweak your SSD so it will work right"-guides you can find online have their origins in a dark and distant past when TRIM wasn't invented yet and wear leveling was in the ameoba stage of its evolution. How power management of SSDs was done is the stuff of nightmares... Now that the technology has matured, you can if you want tweak them to get the most out of your benchmarks, but to use it every day and enjoy it, all you have to do is plug in the thing, install your OS, make one or two small changes, and... done.
