A1200 power supply

The power supply to the A1200 has five pins, obviously different voltages for different purposes. Does anyone know what the different voltages are used for?

Thanks for any help

Solid state hard drive life

If a solid state hard drive is in constant daily use, how long would it last before

Does constant data filing and retrieval eventually wear it out?
