SSD - pc always on

[NOLA_tech]

I very rarely turn my pc off. Will this hurt a(an?) SSD? I have a WD 500gb green HDD that has been pretty much been running continuously since late 2009 without any issues. I am not a hard core power user type.

Nope, feel free to leave your PC on.

Not true.
Windows is always writing something to a HD/SSD, unless your in sleep/hibernate mode.
I wouldn't worry about it though.

Would you recommend

a 120gb SSD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147188
or
a 1tb SSHD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822178340

SSD for OS.

I leave mine on all the time. The small read/writes Windows performs are nothing in the grand scheme of things. By the time your SSD drive starts to wear out, you'll more than likely have upgraded to a larger/faster drive down the road.
