SSDs do have a finite lifespan, but it’s much longer than you need.

The laptops in my org stay online 24/7/365, and I’m afraid we’ll reach that barrier a lot faster than most. I’m thinking that if I update to a 7200 RPM HHD and 16 GBs of memory, that would speed them up significantly.

“SSDs do have a finite lifespan, but it’s much longer than you need“

For an average user, true. For a developer or analyst who process big files, not sure. Keep in mind many companies don’t even have desktops for devs or users.

I will say, that the flash drives I’ve seen fail, fail completely and unrecoverably with zero warning.

That sounds ominous
