SSD drives have substantially longer life than embedded flash drives since they are SLC, meaning each bit is represented by one cell. Embedded flash devices are MLC, meaning each cell represents multiple bits. Your drive's life expectancy goes down dramatically with each bit you try stuff into a single cell.


Are you sure? I thought most non-enterprise SSDs are MLC.
