Snow Leopard and SSDs

MacOS has standardized "OS journaling", it functions more as a backtrack tool to diagnose problems. It has minimal impact on SSD longevity. If you are a smart SSD user, who doesn't erase/install softwares frequently. It will likely last longer than a mechanical drives' life span.
