They don't 'wear' out in the tradional sense. All that happens is that you will eventually no longer be able to write new data, existing data doesn't disappear, just new data can only be written so many times.

Either way it would still have to be under pretty heavy usage to even get to that point.

"wear of the cells"

The very thought of the cells that hold my valuable data wearing out , makes me shudder(and not want to buy SSD yet).

Better do your homework, Nick. It is called "multi-level" cell, because one cell can store more than 2 states. Means cheaper, but also less reliable and less write-cycles. Therefore the controller has to take care of the wear of the cells.

If you don´t know about it, don´t write about it.

These wonderful press releases from companies don't mean very much if the customers (business or consumer) is not able to see such claimed awesome-ness in action!...As in reviews from third-party sites.

This is all talk.
I want them to prove it!
