A client of mine that does data recovery on hard drives told me
recently about the 'myth' (his words) of SSDs. They are blazing fast
at first, and while they don't deteriorate as such, their performance
wanes over time as writable blocks are reduced. And unlike hard
drives who tend to click and give some audible warning they are about
to fail, SSDs just stop working without any indication.
This is heresay, and I took it with a grain of salt due to his
possible pro-HD bias, but its interesting to hear some related
comments here.

I'm also interested in any anecdotes about the wisdom of using SSD
as a
cache drive given that I have read that the drives have a "limited
number of write cycles"(?) and progressively deteriorating performance
over time because of it?

We're looking to spiff up our Mac towers by installing SSDs for
the system/program/cache drives.
Before clicking "Buy", we were curious if anyone had experiences
with brands that have let them down or that seem to be
particularly good value?
thanks -
