So over a year later, how is the outlook on ssd suitability in a desktop?...not so much the capacities, but the whole tiny but frequent read/write accesses? Have they improved, or is it still the same problem?
Is it safe/reasonable to use mlc style drives (to take advantage of increased capacity), now, or is it best to just stick with slc drives to save the headaches?
Are there potentially any differences between installation in a Windows desktop vs. a Mac desktop? I read some customer reviews on Amazon that suggest that even the initial Win OS installation behavior could become a nightmare (due to all of the read/write operations just to "generate" the OS installation). There was also mention of drastically different disk i/o behavior between Win/ntfs and other OS/file formats which creates a considerable impact in ssd performance (or missing performance, more specifically). It is hinted that this is one of the reasons one might want to stick with an slc device (despite the increased cost and reduced capacity), as opposed to the more cost-friendly mlc device.
Is there anybody who has actually jumped-in with some experimenting on this...worked out their own smooth approach to make it work?
Has anybody
