A quick news item popped up saying that 20 - 30% of notebooks built with solid state drives like the ones in the new Dells and Mac Air are being returned because of hardware failure and performance issues. That's pretty high considering about 1% get returned for hard drive failures. SSD for notebooks and computers are still pretty new so I'm expecting a lot of hardware issues initially. So I'm not surprised by the news and I was guessing that it would be a few years before the technology matures enough where it becomes reliable and doesn't suffer performance issues as well as be more cost effective. I am a little surprised it was that high though. Until then, I'll keep using old skool platter HDDs in my systems.
