hello

I am thinking of moving to SSD given the very praising opinions I read about their performance

however I am concerned about issues like data loss (I think in their early development, SDD had too limited read/write circle etc)

so the question is simple: do my data risk more in SSD than in HDD?

thanks

BUT you should have NOT non-backed up data ANYWAY.

jaclaz is spot on - if you treat an SSD like any other HDD when it comes to the data on it (anything important should be backed up at least once somewhere else), you'll be fine.

When moving to an SSD you can still use your HDD as backup drive, so another plus
