Well being faster than Hard drives, they still end up dying. My hard drive in this 10 year old machine keeps going and going. Its a Maxtor drive. Never had a problem with it.

Interesting stuff about wear leveling; it's all new to me. Josh, do you use the Samsung Magician software for your EVO drives? When I installed my SSD as my Windows 10 system disk, Samsung tech support advised me that the software that came with the drive has not been updated for Windows 10 so he did not advise using it. What am I missing by not using Samsung Magician software? I found this article about Windows support of SSDs interesting: The real and complete story - Does Windows defragment your SSD? hanselman.com LRB
