Flash memory has a limited number of write/erase/rewrites. This is why the TRIM function exists to optimize that. SSD performance degrades over time.

I seem to remember hearing a few months back that as sectors (or however an SSD is divided up capacity-wise) go bad, data isn't necessarily lost with a SSD, as it can still be read from the failing portion and is just written to a still usable portion. Didn't put much thought into it at the time as I wasn't even considering buying one at that point, but is there any truth to that, or is it just a bunch of hogwash?
