SSDs are available for some time now. I had to replace my good old desktop with a newer one because the motherboard started to fail intermittently. I decided to include a 120GB SSD in my new system and spent some time to find out what I have to do in order to increase the lifetime of my SSD. SSDs deliver data very fast on read.
