Obviously, that isn't going to be a good thing if it is correct.... |
An SLC SSD would take decades to hit its maximum number of read/write cycles.
An MLC SSD drive (old technology) would still take 5 years or so.
A SSD hard drive has a much longer life span than a tradition HDD.
EDIT: ALso, if you do wear down all of the memory blocks in your SSD, the drive will just go into read only mode and no data will be lost.
