I have yet to find a anyone that will assert what the write-cycles
these new devices will handle. Our DB is very high write and read
load, and I have no idea how long the SSDs would last. They are still
too expensive for me to buy them to do this experiment.
I certainly hope you have good backups for when your SSD does finally croak.
