Subject: [Discuss] ssd's in linux

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.
