Thanks for adding the explanation I was thinking of writing.

Thanx for this clarity on SSD. My SSD quotes
"Global wear-leveling evens program/erase counts across data blocks to extend lifespan"
which is what I think you were referring to. Never saw this spec until you brought it up.

I had one of my early USB memory sticks (not an SSD disk intended to replace a magnetic disk) more or less permanently sitting in the USB socket. This was in the days of Win XP, which wasn't very much aware of the special nature of Flash. I noticed that the LED on the stick lit up regularly (and quite frequently), but thought nothing of it until the stick started failing. I did a full formatting, ending up with a lot of bad pages, and used it for some more time, but soon more pages went bad.
That is when I first heard about wear leveling, and of the new Win 7 being "Flash aware", doing more extensive buffering to reduce the number of writes of OS data to the Flash device.
So: Once upon a time, Flash wear-out was a problem - probably more so on USB sticks. It might have been a problem even on SATA SSDs in their very earliest days, before wear leveling became standard. (That is a number of years ago!)
Note: Wear leveling is only applied to writing of pages that are being written/modified. Unmodified pages are not moved around to reduce wear. So it is no good idea to fill up your SSD to 99.9% of read-only files, and keep up heavy write/modify traffic on the last 0.1%. Keeping a fair share of the disc unused will spread the wear over more physical blocks, with less wear on a each of them. (This is of course of minimal concern if you do not make lots of writes to the remaining 0.1%!)

The fact that you can edit in other tools tells me the problem is with the VS project and not your SSD. The error you received also occurs on spinning rust drives, so it's not a drive error.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.
I opened another project with the same vs (not another tool) and it worked.

In this case I would suspect the SLN or PROJ file (or both) is corrupt.

I've had an unprintable character in my source code that would foul up VS. They'd be at the end of a line and I would only notice them if I hit End. No idea how it got there but removing it fixed things.

I have my Windows installation and all my apps on an SSD. Everything else (so all my data, including my VS projects, my email folders, etc) are on spinning rust. This gives me excellent performance without hammering the SSD.

What Daniel said. I have SSD's in various laptops and am constantly doing code development and database operations. Never had a problem, and some of these SSD's are 5+ years old.

Hmm, could be a file is being locked?
Did you try rebooting the PC

Elephanting elephant! I must have spent an hour finding a single matching word after 4. Gotta recalibrate my radar it seems.

you surely are thinking lateral...

Not really - with that one known letter in the middle and all the "excluded letters", I'm down to triple vowel or "exotic consonant" words. And there aren't that many of them (that I can think of, anyway!)

No, really!
I just remembered we own an electric fan, so I'm now getting cool breezes every couple of seconds (and so is Herself in the next room).
That's better - there isn't a breath of wind out there, and it's hot and sticky.
For Wales, it's really hot - it's actually not raining and hasn't for days now
