Spare SSD anybody?

[David Kastrup]

Hi,

my current development SSD, graciously donated by James, currently has
the following readings:

In the interest of continuity, it seems like a good idea to replace it
soon.  I might return to a rotating disk (which has quite less wear but
is more sensitive to movement, draws more current, and of course is
slower).  After changing my kernel to 64bit, I am currently in the
situation that the computer will no longer wake successfully from sleep
mode (screen stays black), so I have to use hibernation instead.  That's
nice on the battery but sloshes out gigabytes of memory to disk each
time.  So it's not really helping with regard to SSD wear.  I don't have
all that much free capacity either, so what I have is being cycled
often.

Anybody with something to spare?  The current size I have is 120GB.
