Yes, but depends on the format in use.

If it is ADFS I would think it would work, but not sure if uses 4K sectors
on the drive it would.

Yes it will.
It's mainly corruption caused by crashing and power loss that will be a
the problem with SSDs. They don't tend to fail slowly with sectors
becoming unreadable as can happen with hard drives. When they do fail
they either go read-only, or completely dead.

Thanks Druck. On my FAST m/c Iris often does not close nicely. I get an message (I cannot get to where I stored it at the moment). If Iris is
running still on the icon bar when I shut down it often stiffs the
machine so the shutdown sequence does not complete and I just have to
power off. Could this be having dire consequences for the SSD?

A new beta version of Iris is also now available to download which
might improve things but do read the important notes etc in the zip
file.

I tried that. I merged the supplied Boot and System files in case
anything had changed since the last version. Ran Iris, unticked JIT as instructed for newer hardware and re-ran Iris. I got a blank front page.
No search Engine or the links that used to be there. Bookmarks and
history were OK. I re-started the FAST which then threw a wobbly and said Disc Drive not known.
Probably not related but now I'm even more confused than usual.

I have just upgraded to the news version of Iris, I did not bother with either the Boot or System files as they were the same as previous
versions. But immediately rebooted so the updated Iris files were detected/seen.
Turned off JIT and ensured I clicked on Save rather then just Set.
Checked the new session section in Choices, my default is "don't open a window" on startup.
Clicked on the Iris icon and it opened the home page, which now uses Startpage search instead of Google as it first entry
Your start.html file is located in !Iris.home.start/html
Check in choices under general your URL's for the home page are
pointing to the correct location
