There’s probably a ton of reasons why 1. Price per size 2. Bad reviews ( drive stopped working , disappeared , won’t show up in bios , lost all data) 3. It takes some knowledge and time to clone your operating system especially if going from larger hdd to smaller ssd. 4. drive may need to be aligned properly. Average users might have a hard time. 5 inconsistencies in brands (this one’s better, this one’s slower, this one’s not as reliable, this one has bad firmware.) 6. No one’s buying computers like they used to, the processors are so fast who needs to upgrade. 7. Microsoft operating system fiascoes ( vista, 8 , 10 ) windows 7 does it all and has Media Center. 8. If people bought new computers that had ssds already in them then they would get used to the speed and could not go back to hdd then hard drive manufactures would lose money if everyone switched to ssds.
I could keep on going, but this is just me speculating as to why. My opinion.

Much the same in my case… Where I think TLC might bring us though is to your typical computer systems that people buy for a budget price, yet only now they will get that boost seen with a solid state drive. Having been in the business since Day 1, it still surprises me how little the SSD has caught on with the typical PC user. Why does it not shock us that we can use a phone much like a PC, yet the phone allows instant access to our needs, whereas some endure excruciating long boot and shut down times on a PC still…not to mention application use with a hard drive.

It seems like everyone is moving to TLC. but I Always like the most durable products I can afford. I’m old school, and never believed that every new product is better than the old one. I don’t have a problem with TLC, but I hope that MLC will also stay around and not be discontinued. So we can have a choice to stick with MLC if we want to. I hate to be forced into new products that seem to be inferior just because that’s the only thing being made, sold and advertised. Everyone says TLC is durable enough but you will never know because you may get a 3 year warrantee but the manufacturers are only selling the next model in 1 year. If you want to buy more of what you already have you have to pay premium for it because its discontinued.

We can only review what we receive and yes, you are absolutely right when you say the Database needs to be updated. It will be post FMS.

TLC will last as long as you need it in a typical PC environment. Many might argue that, unless you have performance specific tasks at hand, TLC would be the way to go because of price…and the fact that it won’t die anytime soon contrary to popular belief.
