[mythtv-users] Anyone using SSD for long term storage?

[Ian Evans]

After facing a 2nd green drive failure since January, I began dreaming of
using SSDs as long-term storage. Just curious if anyone's using them as
storage for video libraries.

Realize the initial cost is higher, but I'm assuming over the long term the
savings would be seen through:

- lower power usage
- lower heat
- time cost (not having to re-rip libraries every time a drive fails)
- etc :-)

If the drive is configured not to be a recording drive, so essentially
there's just the writes as you add your DVDs/Blu-rays, wouldn't the
lifetime be very, very good?

Also, since I have non-green drives that have happily been running for over
a decade as opposed to the multiple green losses I've endured over the last
four years, should I just be avoiding greens?
