I have a question about SSDs.  I've read that they like the USB thumb drives can be written to a certain number of times before they fail.  What is the expected lifetime of an SSD?  They're terribly expensive if they're only going to last 2 or 3 years.<span class="yiv1146393330HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
