They are blazing fast =20 at first, and while they don't deteriorate as such, their performance =20= wanes over time as writable blocks are reduced. And unlike hard =20 drives who tend to click and give some audible warning they are about =20= to fail, SSDs just stop working without any indication. This is heresay, and I took it with a grain of salt due to his =20 possible pro-HD bias, but its interesting to hear some related =20 comments here.
