But the reliability of SSDs has been questioned.
When SSDs are not that solid
Around 120GB SSD seems a good size for me (installed programs, some data and efficient imaging). Maybe I'll consider them disposable items provided I have recent system images and the price drops even further.

That was the news of the month, just for not getting too boored.

"boored":). If you're that boored bored maybe read a dictionary.

Nope i meant it that way. We're not at Cambridge here you know.

I was planning to get a 850 Pro but after the last "incident" i'm not that sure anymore. Perhaps i should get a sandisk extreme pro or an intel 730 with only 250MB write speeds? sigh.

On the other side:

Bill, I wonder the same about Total Bytes Written. I started using my 850 pro at 8th of April (80 days or so usage). 100GB of data on it (which 60GB is GTA V, but I haven't really played it). CrystalMark DiskInfo shows like this:

Attachment 364174

What I noticed was, with a pagefile set to 10GB each restart increased bytes written with that amount.

Is CrystalMark freeware? If not how much does it cost, and where can I download it?

I did a Google search and saw many download sites for version 4.xx but I see you have version 6.3.2

There you go - Download Center - Crystal Dew World, I see it is now 6.5.2

All of my softwares are freeware. A part of my software is distributed under The modified BSD license. I would appreciate it if you could do development support.

I use the standard version portable.

Edit: Yeah CrystalMark (actually DiskMark) is 4.0.3, the screenshot is DiskInfo. Can be found in same page.

Again, I wasn't seeking if my data was remarkable, or anything else about it. I was just curious what numbers people would have that have been using their drives for a long time

Per your request:

~Terabyte per month - probably due to VMs.

I had never checked that info before - perhaps because the drive/laptop is my employer's.

I wish I had 500GB

Testing by a bunch of kids in schools should be a good indication that SSD's work well.

'Tis funny because 'tis true.

Sound like Board room testing to me :)
