I’d imagine OP is actually talking about NVMe though, which does NOT - or at least not on the scale of old SSDs.
I have put more than a couple NVMes in the ewaste bin over the last few years.
We buy and use them for the performance though - and I for one want the web to feel snappy, so while it could be read/write heavy, no way I’d be moving the cache off my fastest disk.
Oddly, the data seems to disagree. That was always my impression though. Could simply be that NVMe TBW values have caught up in the last few years, as they are a LOT higher now than I remember then being ~6-8 years ago.
I bought my first SSD in 2009. It was my system drive for around 10 years.
When I retired it as my system drive, it still had 90% remaining of its service life.
You don’t need to worry about saving write cycles.
SATA SSDs last a long time, yes.

you mean SATA has more life ?
