Stop panicking about your SSD’s lifespan — it will probably outlive your PC
A lot has been written about SSD endurance on this site, including by yours truly, but SSD upkeep doesn't have to descend into usage anxiety. SSDs indeed have a limited lifespan, which can technically be exhausted once enough data has been written to them. This is precisely why writers like me recommend best practices to extend your SSD's lifespan, especially in this market when prices have skyrocketed. That said, the average user is highly unlikely to encounter a failed SSD because of writing too much data to it. The endurance ratings of consumer SSDs will take decades to exhaust, not years. SSDs are more likely to fail due to electrical or thermal reasons than overuse. That means you still need to take care of your SSDs, but worrying about SSD endurance is something you can safely forget about.
