Speaking of...
I am thinking about getting a new laptop in the somewhat near future... I will most likely get a 13" macbook pro, maybe a 15". The 13" model has 2 hard drive options either a 5400rpm drive or a SSD drive, the 15" has a 7200rpm option or SSD... However, i think i want a 13" as i currently have a 15, and a 13 would be easier to travel with.
For those of you in the IT field, how often are you guys seeing SSD's fail? Traditional platter type drives have been around for a long time, and their failure rates are almost nill.. While SSD drives are faster, and consume less power, if their real world lifespan is not comparable to a platter style drive, then i would personally forgo some speed in lue of a longer lifespan... Thanks.
