[ML-General] advice sought on SSD's

[david]

No, they have nothing to do with venereal diseases.

For Debian Jessie on AMD64 platforms:
I just spent some big bucks (for me) on a 500 GB SSD (Samsung Evo) and 
wondered what your opinion is on their lifetime?  Should I force things 
that thrash the disks a lot (like Folding at home and maybe swap) onto a 
rotating platter?  Swap is hardly used since I have 16 Gb core but FAH 
thrashes the hard drive *all* the time; one can hear it constantly.  
I've not installed the SSD yet.

Thanks,
David M.
