Boinc on ssd's is fine.
http://techreport.com/review/27436/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-two-freaking-petabytes

My adata sp900, a mid range ssd when I got it a few years ago, has 18165 power on hours. Most of those hours it has been running boinc. I have 14 TB of total writes with boinc and everything else I do. SSD is in good health still too. It has tons of life in it.

I think it writes quite a lot of small files which i think it's worse for an SSD. You could put it on a USB or SD card. If it breaks the USB you can just get a new one for $5-10

I am running it on my ssd with no ill effects. But have heard it can be detrimental because Boinc does do a lot of writing. I am thinking of trying to move it to one of my hdds in my rig. Just need to see what my plan of attack would be to move it. I am wondering if I can move the files then do a reinstall and install it to the folder I make on the hdd and it will pick up where it left off or do I need to run it out of wu's and just do a new install on the hdd. Also I just read that the one project that may cause the most harm is cep2 as it can have very high write loads. Upwards to 70 or more gb per day. So if you don't run cep2 you probably won't due any harm to the ssd in the lifetime you may have it.

Ok, well, I'll try to find a very very small USB disk for disk. That could do the trick.

Thanks

Yeah I know, but I don't know about my crucial xD

But it might be on a Corsair For GT 120gb, as I will grab one for like 50$

A usb disc although far cheaper can't sustain as many writes as an ssd.

Your crucial m4 is of the same generation as my adata sp 900, and if anything I think I remember crucial was more reliable in reviews.

Ssd's are tough pieces of hardware. If I have only written 14 TB of data in 3 years, and ssd's of our generation could write over 1 PB of information then I think we are fine. I have well over a decade of life in my ssd at this rate. In my opinion they are more reliable than hdd's at this point.

I'm just going to assume that the badger is TPU's mascot now.

If thats the case, then I vote the colors to be white body with red stripes while standing in an aggressive pose.

IN OTHER NEWS.
I shut both rigs down so they can get a break, though my laptop still has stuff to run, so I'll boot it in the morning after work and finish those off.

My desktop finished all tasks and is now resting.

A fad imo.... a week or so doesn't make things "official"

"Become a Badger! Crunch for those badges!"

It can be a type of motivation since not everyone puts in their all unless there are prizes involved.

Why can't my gorge be a mascot? It is both cute and disgusting.

I wouldnt even mind Toothless's dragon.

You gave me an idea that I'm going to ponder on at work. I'll reveal results in the morning.

You could also reduce the writing time from once every minute to something like once every 10 minutes. Idk if it really helps but it's worth a short.

For those discussing BOINC on SSDs and have reservations, I will point out that it's possible to have your OS on the SSD and install the BOINC programdata folder on a storage HDD.

Seeing as how everyone has badgers, I think someone should take my Godzilla avatar and mix in a badger for me, maybe throw a badger head on him or something... or make a badger is that same pose.

all the rest of us wear these pretty much 24/7.........

TRWOV · Mar 5, 2015

the woes on my 3770k continue but I found out it's due to the W10 build update. It tries to update but needs at least 10GB free so the update fails and it goes in a loop. I won't be able to correct it until the weekend though.

Toothless · Mar 5, 2015

Okay guys, I really need help here.

I made a thread about my wireless card not working properly but it didn't catch anyone's attention. Well the issue has gotten worse and I can't keep WCG running when it takes 15 minutes to get ONE task. So my desktop is down unless I'm home.

Laptop is taking a break.

My coworker is hooking me up with their daughter.
