[dba-Tech] Everyone needs one or two

Hi Jon:

That is good to know. Recently there was a friend trying to sell me on going
that route for my laptop. He felt because the new drives had no working
parts, were super fast, relatively cheap (getting cheaper every day) and
potentially more reliable, that would be the way to go.

But from your working day experience this is not the truth.

Thanks for the heads up.

Reliability has to vastly improve first. We bought 250 laptops with SSDs
three years ago at work, and we've replaced nearly 50 of the drives under
warranty.

It could be that they don't like having Bitlocker encryption on them, but I
wouldn't buy one for my data drive just yet.

SSD drives are growing larger as well as cheaper. 

Will the new SSD drives eventually spell the end to traditional hard drives?
My thoughts are that they probably will, at least as the master drives; all
the price decimal point has to do is move one position to the left.
