   He wouldn't have had to do much/any thinking on his own had he bothered to   
   take the time to review the material I've provided multiple times now. I even   
   dumbed it down to show google search queries and the results. No video review   
   required in those cases - but the general information was the same. The videos   
   provide significantly more specific details if one is inclined to know them   
   for various reasons. Alan evidently is not one of those people who wants to   
   know the specifics.

   There was one bug I know of that did cause excessive writes - but - in   
   fairness, The later copies of Windows were (some still are) doing the same   
   thing. MS is still working on it. I assume Apple has made improvements with   
   their usage of write cycles as well. My comments have been focused on the   
   premature failure of what I and many others consider to be wear grade   
   components. And what happens when those components go tits up.

   Isn't it though? :)
