I think most computer problems occur because of disk faults and often semi-invisible repairs that the OS subsequently makes. I've had the SSD in place for about a year and I cannot tell you all what a difference it makes. I know that SSDs do fail, in the end, but I am still in the honeymoon stage and it is vastly better than any hard drive experience I have ever had. Truly, nearly all the petty annoyances have and glitches have disappeared
