SSDs Solid State Drives manage data differently from old school Hard Disk Drives. In an HDD, data is written on moving discs using a head, whereas an SSD stores data in NAND cells, with each cell only capable of going through a certain number of write cycles before it starts degrading. This means SSDs have limited lifespans by default, usually measured in TBW terabytes written. If you have an SSD with 80TBW, how long it lasts depends on how long you take to write 80TB worth of data on it — if...
