[QUOTE="rehanfarrukh, post: 784639, member: 40760"] Now I am stuck with these two options and need some help here. Already placed an order for new MBP 17" 2.9Ghz, 4GB RAM. Read lots of reviews online. I know SSD is more reliable than HDD but is it really worth spending an extra C$850 for 256GB? Does vibration/noise of HDD matters to me? Yes, to some extent. But what really is bothering me is SSD's limited write cycle. Does that mean at some point in time, it'll crash (sooner than HDD) and I will loose everything? Yes, I use my notebook everyday but question is if its worth putting the money on SSD at this stage. The price will eventually come down every year. Any thoughts, suggestions??? Thanks [/QUOTE]
