Subject: SSDs versus spinning-rust drives
Contemplating ordering an SSD as at least the boot and main drive for my PC.

Is that even a good idea?  Are /var, logfiles, and all the other stuff
that constantly gets written to disk, still a Really Bad Idea for
solid-state memory with its limited write cycle times?

Or is that no longer an issue?

And does anyone really trust SSD to maintain actual documents, family
photos, and such over long periods of time?
