    As a FunFact™, you’re more likely to have the SSD controller die than the flash wear out at this point.

    Even really cheap SSDs will do hundreds and hundreds of TB written these days, and on a normal consumer workload we’re talking years and years and years and years of expected lifespan.

    Even the cheap SSDs in my home server have been fine: they’re pushing 5 years on this specific build, and about 200 TBW on the drives and they’re still claiming 90% life left.

    At that rate, I’ll be dead well before those drives fail, lol.
