    I'll admit that I have NOT looked at the specs on these drives but in general.....there will be a limited amount or read/write to these types of drives.

    I generally image dump my laptops 1X a month regardless....but I'm curious for those in the know, anyone how what the specs are on the SSD drives....I'm all for the SSD for a notebook for boot times, and power consumption..

    While flash does have a limited amount of read/write, Samsung has quoted the drive life at greater than 1 million hours.

    If you left it on for 24 hours a day you'd still get 114 years out of the drive.
