I'm currently typing on a box running on 13 years old HDs. They've been used on a server (so always on) for maybe 5-6 years, then demoted to a desktop machine and they've been cycle-powered daily for at least other 6. I even have older, still working, rust around. When an HD gets to small/slow for its purpose, I replace it with a bigger shinier one, but I just move the old one to a less demanding use, backups/archive being the lower step in their life. > However, my guess is, due to a lack of experiences with SSDs, that they > last for as long as HDDs do last. Seems not, then. bye & Thanks av.
