The maths and specs suggest a modern SSD should survive observium workload for quite a while, but I'm still worried about the random failure rate and the likelyhood that individual cells get worn out.

In general SSDs are such a strange tech, there's almost no way to really improve them except with fancy controller hacks, the flash itself is a dead end tech.

Good luck :-)

Hi,

Data is dumped to spindle nightly for backups.

As with everything, the question isn't "if" it fails, it's "when". I'll report back when it does.

Regards,

Michael
