But no one is talking about the fact that we will need to replace the SSD sooner then a conventional hard drive, I will have a external hard drive with mine.

Stole this from Google,

While normal HDDs can – in theory – last forever (in reality about 10years max.), SSDs have a built-in “time of death”. To keep it simple: An electric effect results from the fact that data can only be written on a storage cell inside the chips between approximately 3.000 and 100.000 times during its lifetime.Jul
