No problem Bryan.
When SSD's first came out their were all kinds of stories and ideas all over the web.
Most were worried about wearing out the SSD prematurely and with some of the older ones it might of been true. Now over time and quality I'm thinking they will last longer than hard drives. A hard drive has disc a spinning and a arm jumping all over the place.
A SSD just has a gazillion of little electrons jumping around having affairs with transistors or what not. No moving parts. If the components that make up the electronics of the SSD are of quality they should last longer than a hard drive. The electronics of a cpu work for many years under extreme heat. SSD's run cool so in my opinion will last a very long time.
I have 4 SSD's and other than using the programs that come with them I never have done speed test or the like because it doesn't matter. They are quick. I lean more to the reliability side. I pick ones that have a good record for reliability.
I'm using Intel and Samsung.
