Yup. Like I said, I've had an SSD boot drive in my Mac Pro for *eight* *years* (mostly without TRIM enabled, too) and haven't had a single issue with it in all that time. It's still going strong. And since I use Time Machine to back up to two different destinations, whenever the SSD does crap out, replacing it will be a simple matter of replace, then restore. It's completely a non-issue. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
