So does this mean the SSD will eventually "wear out"?
So what would be the normal life expectancy for a SSD, 3, 5, 10 years?
Could this be why there is a high maintenance charge on SSD, spinny had no maintenance?Precisely that plus the obvious high cost of them in general. IBM could have raised maintenance rates per 'disk slot' to cover this but that penalizes the guy who is not using them and subsidizes the guys that are. So the charge was instituted.

Interesting read...
I wonder how/if the same issues apply to IBM i with its SLS.
Given that SLS treats disk more like memory...it would seem that SSDs would be even better suited to SLS than spinies.
