One open question is whether to buy TLC- or MLC-based drives. TLCs are considerably cheaper. They would not be used in build bots, but on the other hand, people will build entire images with OE by themselves during development. So I wonder about the impact on the drive's lifespan, and whether or not it is severe enough to warrant the more expensive MLC drives (up to 2 times more expensive). Did anybody made experiences with these? Any recommendations?
