[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1074338, member: 176704"] FWIW, having put SSDs into 3x PC's, my take on the subject of SSD life is: - Sometimes the cloning process goes wrong (dramatically on 1st occasion - HDD AND SSD totally trashed, and the laptop had to be totally rebuilt from "scratch" which was long and "painful") - Thus chose your cloning s/w carefully - when it works, which is mostly, it makes a tremendous improvement in boot-up/app loading. - letting the machine then "Sleep" seems likely to gradually contribute to full-life degradation - so I make sure that I switch machines fully OFF overnight (etc.) instead of that (or Hibernation) - There are many manufacturers (or at least "brandnames"!) of SSD, and so I would not buy the "cheapest" "no-name" available, and only buy well-known brands like (in no specific order): Samsung, Sandisk, Crucial and Kingston [I](although it is said that there are a lot fake Kingston drives of other types on ebay etc.)[/I] from reputable sources (usually Amazon, but not their Marketplace) unless the PC is relatively "unimportant" - that said, maybe using a very cheap "no-name" SSD of an unusual physical interface type may well have resulted in the demise of the ACER N4620G nettop, and thus the need to buy the HP EliteDesk :oops: [/QUOTE]
