Turn off Indexing Don't Defrag Don't use "super delete" utilities Don't optimize or reorg the disk Disk Performance Testing (rare) The idea is to reduce unnecessary writes to the disk, most of the above will have no performance difference with a SSD with the possible exception of indexing but I really doubt it on a the sizes of drives now. So look at anything that is going to cause a lot of writes, if you have the option to turn it off and it makes sense to do so, then turn it off. There are aurguments out there that say it makes no difference for the "average" user with the newer drives, you'll replace computers before you wear out the disk. Personally I would fall more in the middle, for example I would not do a super delete which is non-tech speak for writting and rewritting to the exact same locations many times to ensure there is no way possible to recover the deleted file. I might optimize once in a while, but not monthly like I do on this system. I have indexing turned off as it annoys me and I have no performance issues with the system finding files, so I would with a SSD also. However, all that said there is only ONE thing you have to do to make the impact of a failure minor, and that is to do regular backups to another drive (does not have to be a SSD)... Finally, if you start getting locations that become unreliable and unable to write to, the OS is going to catch it, I would take a look at the device log once in a while and see if the OS is logging any Disk I/O errors at all, that would be your early warning of the drive wearing out.

So Cal beaches are nicer, and If you feel like it you can go snowboarding on the same day.

Bah snow sucks. You do not wish you had it, trust me.
And as far as going to beaches, I have a beach a few hours away. It's just covered in snow right now. It is really awesome in the summer, though. I can't beleive it was 80 something 2 weeks ago and now it is below freezing. Saskatchewan has one of the most extreme temperature differentials in the world I think
