    How Many Rewrites Can SSDs (Solid State Drives) Handle?
    Some say 10000, some say that each sector can be rewritten 1 million times, but I am looking for correct information. Here are 2 questions:

    1. How many rewrites SSDs can handle overall?
    2. How many rewrites can each sector handle?
    3. How many years on average SSDs can work?

    There are too many variables to be able to answer this question with any certainty as the underlying tech is constantly changing.

    Your best bet is to look at the specs that go with the drive you want. They have a cycle rating that they post with the specs. Also there are combo drives that have both a physical disk and ssd assist. Anything you choose its always best to research it out.

    Hybrid, combo, mixed. They go by many names. The best part is the pricing.
