Lifetime of Samsung 840 Pro -vs- 7200 RPM platter drive


a general question ssd -vs- 7200 rpm platter drive expected lifetime

 

my current install (on platter drive) uses 75gig win7 pro + cs5 master collection + ms office pro + misc files , small programs... 128gig ssd should plenty

 

my question

with windows swap file , adobe cache files directed platter drive, ssd never hit "too many writes" state (which don't understand, have read "something like" in forums) real world failure lifetime of ssd versus platter drive?

 

or, other way ask, "mtbf of 1,500,000 hours" (equals 171 years) in specifications real, or marketing hype... or these drives new have real failure rate?

john,

 

i have new laptop.  have 3 samsung 840 pro drives in few years able give real data.

 

i have been using quite few of these ssd's othewise in 3 different desktop computers , running many ppbm benchmarks on them , have not seen problems of yet.  typically when benchmark run complete benchmark on clean drive , delete complete ~38 gb folder each time. 

 

very small statistical sample, not know experience worth.
