Didn't watch the vid but I bet you they're doing cached tests which don't reaaaaaaalllllly count. Plus SSD's aren't really viable for realworld use unless they're SLC and have a good controller, the performance degrades rapidly when you write to them, regardless of how evenly you wear them. That, and they suck at random writes. Maybe it's fun for epeen though..

Have to agree with m0p. I have a pair of 80 gig drives that are going on 4 years, and run pretty much 24/7. Still work without a hitch. By the time most SSD's are that old and see heavy use, they will see a much higher failure rate, or at least a significant degradation in performance.
