I've never had a hard drive fail on me. That includes a 2008 core2
duo that I shut down last autumn. Web surfing was getting painfully
slow, and really large spreadsheets were dying in 3 gigabytes of ram,
but otherwise it still worked. 256 G SSD is not enough for me now.
That takes us into 512 G SSD territory, which will be "adequate" for
now, but who knows about my future needs.
