Hi guys, sorry but I have not contributed on this topic yet and felt I just HAD to share my 2cents.
I agree with what you all say about trying to "preserve" your SSDs for as long as possible, but seriously, have a look at the below article:
http://www.storagereview.com/ssd_performance_review_270tb_writtenGiven the speed at which SSD's advances, I am pretty convinced nobody would WANT to run their current SSD's in 5 years time any more in any event. I am not so much talking about raw sequential read / writes (which is almost at the liimit of SATA III already), but I recon that the next big advances in SSDs will come from increasing the random read / write speed which is still hovering around SATA I speeds.
I am not proclaiming that you go and write unneccesary stuff to your SSD, but seriously is this worth all the effort?
