In researching SSD's I constantly come across the suggestion that they are best used for just the OS as they have a limited amount of write cycles, and data is best on a conventional HDD.
Doing a quick test with 'Process Monitor',however, shows my OS is writing to disk every few seconds. Microsoft Security writing logs, firefox caching files, svchost doing... whatever it does! Is there something wrong with my computer, or something wrong with the advice that running an OS on an SSD is better because it won't write data all the time?
If an SSD has a limit of 10,00 writes, I can see it being used up by my OS in a few weeks.
