SSD moves blocks around dynamically to spread the wear across the disk
I believe that only works if you have TRIM (wear-leveling) enabled, which is it is all recent OSes.
I got a laptop a few years ago with an SSD that had Vista on it before, that doesn't support TRIM... immediately put W7 on it but a few months later the SSD was dead
