Maybe had I not given the answer it would have been a "d-bag" remark. Instead, I gave the answer and how I found the answer while preempting someone else saying "just google it".

Assuming the same workload, yes it would last twice as long. Each block would have the same lifetime, but there would be twice as much space for the drive to use before it has to cycle through the...

Wait until you installed tons of software in a year or two. A fresh new Win XP can boot in less than a minute, what's the pont.

It's the combo of the MB and SSD. But when I first seen this I literally couldn't believe it. That is powered off state, not sleep mode or hibernate. I retook the video 5 times because I couldn't...

So you need a big 2nd drive to store your files but have no idea why anyone would need a bigger SSD? :D

Incorrect by scientific standards. Also you obviously simply don't use your computer. I have 1tb of writes on my MLC SSD after 1 month.

All of this is based on what?
I've seen the 840 go for 400TB of writes before kicking the bucket. I'd rather have quality TLC over inferior MLC (like OCZ) any day of the week.
I have a 240gb...

You can clearly see this with every 840 deal. People just flock there.

I run VMs. For others, it might be high IO apps like video processing or editing. There's always a reason.
I'm glad your 90GB works for you. :)

Huge difference, the system is also quieter. Love my SSD. I have an old Intel X25 SATAII running on an i7 and it doubled my boot time. I'm waiting for the 840Pro to go on sale for 200 bucks again.
