Longevity of SSD compared to HDD

[davelong]

It will soon be necessary for me to replace my boot drive (Western Digital) for the third time in two years. Adobe and MS, and others, are getting tired of re-authorising my re-installs.
Should I expect a longer lifespan from an SSD than HDD?

No, although wd doesn't have such high life-expectancies. Longer than an ssd which is used every day, but Seagate makes long-lasting hdd's.
