SSD Notebooks Not Too Stable
Mar 18, 08 09:11 AM PDT

Apparently, notebooks that use SSD as their main means of data storage seem to suffer from an unusually high failure rate. So far a major PC manufacturer has reported returns of 20% at best, up to 30% in all the SSD systems that are available for sale. Up to one fifth of these failures are due to the drive not working properly, although it remains to be seen whether this problem stems from the storage solution itself or if the controller chip is the culprit. While the drive manufacturer has not been named for obvious reasons, one can't help but place Samsung as the likely candidate since it is the most common SSD producer at press time. Are you grooving to a notebook that features SSD, and has it failed on you so far?

I'm using an Asus eee PC for a couple of months now. This uses an SSD drive for storage. So far no problems on my unit, can't say though if it's the same for others. Although I have heard of rumors that SSD drives tend to fail, but it would take time before it actually does. One tip to make the SSD drive last longer is not to "write" on it often. So that would mean other forms of storage as to not wear out the SSD drive fast.
