Not within the computer’s lifetime. Consumer-grade SSDs are generally rated for 3000-5000 write cycles or more, and contain some kind of wear levelling mechanism to distribute write operations over the entire physical medium to reduce the chance of individual block failures. The first SSD I ever bought is still going strong as my server’s root filesystem.
@Tangent5280@spongeborgcubepants I think the days of worrying about SSDs failing like that during its expected lifespan are over for all practical applications.
Wouldn’t an SSD run into problems down the line with too many Writes?
Theoretically, yes, but I suspect the manufacturing quality is SD cards is a lot lower than SSDs
In my experience, that concern is way outdated.
