This could be a very good investment with a 10 year warranty. I am sure 2 or 3 years down the line should the drive go faulty it will not be replaced with another of the same capicity but of a greater capicity.
 
The 32gb version seems to only have 3 years warranty...but at £75 with good transfer rate I'm interested, will see what other people think...
 
A ten year warranty is excellent but I read somewhere that the MLC NAND chips that the cheaper SSDs use will have exhausted their charge long before that period expires... if the 10,000 write cycles per cell haven't worn the drive out before then!

Still if you're someone who hangs onto technology for as long as possible then at least you're covered for when your SSD does eventually die so the length of the warranty isn't something to grumble about really! Whether the manufacturer would honour that warranty in ten years time though remains to be seen...

To be fair though, I don't think I've ever used a hard drive for longer than four years because storage capacity and technology advance so fast that most people will be constantly upgrading. For example, ten years ago I was using a clunky, heavy, slow EIDE hard drive with a storage capacity of 8 GB in a Pentium III PC from PC World!

10 Years Warranty is better than nothing ! If hard disk failed after 9 years, it can be replacement to a new better SSD storage capacity and more faster if the same replacement cannot meet (due to discontinued)
