    That is pretty much where I am at. The losing the record of my edits is a loss, but, ultimately, I have the output jegs and if I go back for additional tweaks, it will only be for a file here or there. So I can start from the original file and make those edits again.

    I've been reading up on SSDs and come across two general theories. OCZ apparently has had a high failure rate starting ~2010. I bought mine in 2011. Also, apparently SSDs are susceptible to power losses. Not necessarily surges, but I found a couple of comments online where power failures are hard on SSDs. The only poster that was specific stated that controllers, especially older controllers, could become corrupted if power is lost while the SSD was in use. Of course, we lose power several times a year and I can recall losing power a few months ago when working at the computer.

    The upside, I just bought a larger and faster SSD. Oh, and since I am going to be updating my computer, I added the 8-core processer upgrade I have wanted (Lightroom regularly maxes out my current quad-core). I held off on two more sticks of RAM. Maybe later
