Just throwing this out there..

With the write limit on Flash memory, how will the lifetime of system drives made from flash compare to modern HDs.. I did some maths (admittedly in my head) and worked out that unless the drive's mapping is doing some very efficient (and hopefully low overhead) calculations on use / re-use then these drives will fail about the same time as a normal HD.

Off to do some reading to see if these drives even do do any kind of usage mapping..... 'cos if they don't then they are gonna be terrible! But I am sure I read somewhere they do do something like that. But even so...
