When did that guy do that study of SSDs? Basically hammered them to 
death 24/7? I think it took about three years of continuous write/erase 
cycles to destroy them.

Given that most drives are obsolete long before they've had three years 
of writes ... the conclusion was that - for the same write load - 
"modern" (as they were several years ago) SSDs would probably outlast 
mechanical drives for the same workload.

(Cheap SD cards, on the other hand ...)

Cheers,
Wol
