Well, there is that, but the Intel SSDs (X-25-M) have been designed for
~5GB/d writes over 5 years, even without this. I assume they shuffle
data around behind the back of the file system if one area becomes too
used.

I've got one running on 11.0 (my DSL is broken so I can't upgrade to
11.1 yet), and combined with the x200s battery life, this really rocks
;-)
