How often does your ram die? You must have the worst luck with ram in the world. I see HDD failures much more often than ram.

That's what a solid state drive is - lots and lots of ram, plus a battery. The end. I assume you read and write to your ram pretty often. It doesn't kill it. What about database servers? They swap to ram, oh i dunno, a million times a day.

Stop with the dumb assumptions and think.
