Silicon Power’s new 32 GB Solid State Disk comes with a 2 year warranty, but is likely to last 20 years or more before you can expect to see some drives die.  Guru 3D’s review was of the SLC version, a faster, more reliable and more expensive type of flash, there is also an MLC version that is cheaper, but you will sacrifice both speed and reliability.  Read on to see how well SSDs have been improving.

“SSD is the future, make no mistake. With Silicon Power’s product the dynamics change a bit. A couple of weeks ago they released a new series of drives. We got one fresh from the factory, this is their all new revised version. Optionally they make use of SLC NAND flash based memory. In certain situations this type is not only faster, it’s also 10 maybe 20 times more reliable as the number of write cycles (per cell) starts at 100,000 writes.

So in theory if the OCZ drive would last 5 years, this one could last 50 years.”
