    Yeah, I kind of freaked out!!
    Btw, if the rated write cycles of a 120GB intel 510 is around 5000 (is it?), why do you say 1/40-1/80 of its life is taken by 1TB of writes? Shouldn't it be more like 1/500?

    i think they're rated for 40 or 80 tb of data. could be PB so then it would be 1/400 or 1/800. i forgot. i've been answering these late at night while drowsy as heck. the info is not hard to find and i couldn't tell you where to start either. i would take it easy on the hibernate though. use only when necessary but stick to standby or shutdowns. some programs autosave progress don't they or have option?
