SSD The more you write the faster they wear out?

What benefit does an SSD offer 3ds max other than the inital loading of files? Rendering is not bottlenecked by hdd speed.

Of course it is, it has to write the finished frames and temp files some where.

They deteriorate fast, but fast is considered in years. And make sure the 'trim' feature is on, it'l make your ssd last a lot longer.

I'm interested in this too

I'm thinking of getting an SSD for Windows, CS4, Maya, Z-Brush, 3Ds Max and a few games.

Do you realise how long it takes to render a single frame? It takes my cpu 2 seconds just to render the blender cube @ 1920x1080.
