    Are there any tools or software utilities for monitoring the the reads and writes on a SSD?

    Does the Intel SSD Toolbox include such a tool?

    PS. I'm planning on getting a Intel mSATA SSD.

    The toolbox has a ton of info included. Some of it you need to decode, as it were, but after following this thread: SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm - Page 34 I no longer have any fear of wearing out my ssd's because of writes.

    Thanks again Abidderman, looks like Intel is the way to go for mSATA SSD's.
