Paul:
I use Linux for everything I possibly can and explored
solid state drives for
dedicated telecommunications application.
An "expert" told me that solid-state drives had a limited
number of read-write
cycles before they failed, so I lost interest in them.
You have any info on that?
For twenty+ years I configured RAM-Disk software for same
purpose, but that
was a little pricey (paid for by BIG clients with deeper
pockets than mine)

I have have not heard that about solid state drives.
Same tech as USB sticks.

Yes and NO. Like a USB thumb drive they use semiconductor memory but unlike a USB thumb drive they use a high speed interface like SATA or PCI.

I installed on in my Fujitsu Stylistic Tablet and battery life increased to 7 hours!
