I got one to try and speed up huntercoin Grin

I have read SSD wear out after a certain amount of read/writes is that true?

Yeah something like that but it is is a fairly high number. Everything has a shelf life - HDDs do too. And they have moving parts that can break unexpectedly or from minor trauma.

Maybe time to upgrade from now-archaic 60GB Agility2 which has me staring at the WinDirStat screen every freakin' week (frequently-cleaned 17.5GB Windows folder doesn't help).

Still a good ssd, use it on the side if/when you get a new ssd, use the agility for cryptocurrency blocks.
Plenty of room left on my Vertex2 with BTC and LTC blocks.

Sandisk announces 4TB SSD, hopes for 8TB next year.

"We see reaching the 4TB mark as really just the beginning and expect to continue doubling the capacity every year or two, far outpacing the growth for traditional HDDs," Manuel Martull, SanDisk's product & solutions marketing director, stated in an email reply to Computerworld.

Small ones are pretty cheap these days. NewEgg has 120GB for as cheap as $60 although I would spend a little more and get a better drive. Can't beat a Corsair M500 or Samsung 840 evo for ~$80 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-recommendation-benchmark,3269-2.html .

Wow. Fuck Moore and his pessimistic law. $67 on Amazon with 2-day Prime shipping, now. Maybe time to upgrade from now-archaic 60GB Agility2 which has me staring at the WinDirStat screen every freakin' week (frequently-cleaned 17.5GB Windows folder doesn't help).

To the poster who asked about reliability, it depends on brand and model. When I got started with SSDs I did some research and Crucial was about the most reliably so I bought Crucial M4s. I have had great results with those. I am also currently using a Kingston 60gb drive in one of my mining rigs and have not had any issues with it.

I have some Crucial M4s that I've had and used pretty much daily for regular use, gaming, etc for 2+ years no with no issues.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago, which good news, but HDD will stay here for years to come
SSD Prices are rediculously expensive
SSD life cycle is way shorter than HDD (in perfect condition that is, this can swing rapidly toward SSD in some use conditions) and also these high density SDDs with lower costs have by default a lower endurance and life cycle

I'd currently buy one for maybe running my operating system on but not for storing all my files. They're too expensive at the moment, but I'll replace my HDDs when they become affordable to do so.

right. I cant wait for price to fall. Also I have too many bad experiences with HDD failure and los af data. Dont you guys know how is reliability of SDD, I know only about awesome speed.

"expect to spend about 75 cents per gigabyte (GB) on an SSD in 2014"

Here you go

That is exactly what I was looking for. There is a clear wide gap between HDDs and SSDs. Any known reasons for SSDs seeming to bounce back up?

Does anybody here have a link to a chart with $/GB for SSDs? Preferably one that also includes HDDs?

I have an S.....e HDD from 1999 and is still working ...
But many other companie's HDDs i used in past had stopped in few years ...
Long Live HDD

IMO ...When SSD is cheaper maybe the HDD die ... but is very early now.

Agree, its all come to price. I believe HDD would still be cheaper in the coming many years... so HDD !!

I have had one or two HDDs that just died for no apparent reason over the years. They were not dropped, they were just sitting in my desktop and one day decided to retire without any physical incident.

They can die just from getting dust in them apparently (though it's quite hard for dust to actually get into them), not to mention anything with fragile moving parts will break eventually.

My mining room is so dusty but none of the HDD fail, so dead by dust is really rare...
