minus-squareTanoh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year ago SSDs have a limited number of lifetime writes. Yes, but in the real world it is not a concern. The number of writes you can do is so huge that you will never come even near it, and the speed boost from SSD far far outweighs it.

It should last a long time but I have exhausted multiple disks. Just depends on your workloads and lifespan
