[Discuss] ssd's in linux

[Stephen Adler]

Guys,

I'm thinking of upgrading my linux system by adding an SSD drive to use 
as my system disk. Has anyone done this? Any pros and cons regarings 
using SSD's? I'm more intrested in the cons. I'm worried about the life 
expectancy since there is a limited number of writes one can do to the 
NAND memory. Do I need to setup a raid array to ensure the SSD contents 
are correct?

Thanks. Steve.
