Any solid state drive is going to lose some of its zip as it gets older, but just about any of them will last longer than the life-span advertised by the manufacturer, a test by technology portal Techreport.com indicates.
Solid state drives, which use no moving parts, can only have data overwritten in their memory cells a limited number of times before the cells stop working properly, meaning the data they've stored is lost.
Techreport.com took six devices - all from major names - and tested them to death. All lasted much longer than guaranteed. Two models even cracked the boundary of 2 petabytes (about 2,000 terabytes) worth of overwrites.
