FYI...Original SSDs (Intel X25-Ms) Entering 8th Year Of Service In Trading Rigs

I know, probably useless to state this.

 

not at all..count me as one of the early adopters on SSD and enjoy reading your posts.

 

+1

 

What happened to that study you linked to before?

 

8 years ... congrats to you (and Intel)!

Do you have separate SSD's for the OS and apps? Are you using RAID?

 

No RAID, just one drive.

 

Nice work Scat. Intel should pay you an endorsement fee.

 

LOL! Won't be holding my breath for that.

They've been reliable, too. Had only 1 failure... on an Intel 320... and that was partly my fault. Intel had issued a firmware update and I'd managed to not get it onto one of the drives. The drive bricked and Intel replaced it under warranty.

 

LOL...Even more of an endorsement!

 

Solid statement.
