I'm sick of seeing "I'm afraid if I put my 'browser cache / virtual memory' on my SSD, it will eat up all my erase cycles!"
Lets put an end to this rumor. I have an old Kingston 40gb SSD, it was used in a raid 0 (with no trim), for 1 year and then decommissioned to my wife's computer as a stand alone C drive. It has 2.53TB of writes and the media wear-out indicator is at 0. I have never done any tweaks to windows, or moved any browsing cache, virtual memory, or anything else off the drive. I have used it non-stop for 2 years with no indication of wearing out. I have never once worried about it.
Has anyone ever used an SSD heavy enough to actually wear out the cells in a non-server environment?
