I bet "burn up" was meant more along the lines of "wear out" and not really as in heat (unless they had a bad one) . SSD's have limited # of writes on each cell before they fail compared to hard drive magnetic surface wearing out.

I just got an OCZ Agility 2 SSD this past weekend and installed w7 and Wow with about 16g left which I'm going to keep open so windows can shift writes across it. With only having 4gb of system memory now (had 8gb before) five wow's run better than they ever have on the SSD. Once in a while there's a little stutter in Dal but it's very short and /follow out in Northrend is a hell of a lot better than before.
