   Yes, SSDs do have write limitations, but for all practical purposes, modern   
   SSDs are likely to outlive the rest of the system they're installed in.  I love   
   them, and will happily use a SSD for the performance gains on the OS drive.  A   
   spinning HDD is still handy for bulk data storage though, because they're far   
   cheaper in larger sizes.   
      
      
   ... But the FACTS keep interfering with your theories!
