Writing To Often To SSD Will Shorten It's LIfe

Hi,

My MBP uses SSD. Is it true that SSD don't last long if it is writen too many times?

So does that mean "if each time i try to clean install my os, i 'zero pass earse' my hard disk is NOT a good idea?

Thanks.

4 controller RAID on a card compared to a single drive.

Brilliant.

Yeah, but that does not invalidate my claim. My claim is still factual and true regardless.

We were talking stricly SSds not servers, desktops, notebooks, etc. Therefore, the examples I gave are still valid and not out of context.

where exactly it is stated?

He's in Japan -- their warranty laws may make that possible. It's certainly not true in the States, though.
