I thought they were up to a Million writes now? I think they tend to fail much more gracefully than HDDs as well, since they fail on write rather than read (controller should verify write I hope). If the number of writes is insufficient for your application you’d almost certainly put in a DRAM SSD instead of / in addition to a flash one.
As I understood it, SSD technology has improved dramatically over the past year or two, but several FReepers are telling me otherwise. Either way, I won’t be using them in my home PC yet—far too expensive.
