I think I'm going to get another disk drive for my Windows workstation, so
I have enough space to run Linux on the machine. What do people think of
solid state drives for Radiance runs. I am thinking that they might have
wear problems, especially for programs like *rcontrib**.* Anyone have any
experience this this?

Generally speaking, SSDs should last longer in normal use than a regular hard drive, even with lots of write operations. The wear-leveling management has gotten a lot more sophisticated since their first introduction. Personally, I like the OWC drives the best. That's what I've been using for some years, now.
Cheers,
