A lot more goes on behind the scenes when you copy a file.

    I have never killed an SSD with wear. I have had their controllers die long before they should (OCZ drives!) but even my original 80GB Intel Gen 1 SSD is still kicking along working happily with about 70% of its wear remaining. All my modern era gen 3 and above drives are still working and nothing below 93%. Its enormously difficult to get SSDs worn out on a desktop or home server.

    Or, it’s really not-

    It’s unlikely you’ll kill your SSD unless you’re actively trying to.

    Thanks. I left Handbrake rendering in there overnight. My poor nvme SSD.

    Maybe, but hearing the noises HDDs make when they’re writing non-sequential data makes me physically cringe

    Why not just use “wear”? Because it would be too mundane? Pro tip for the editor: only ppl interrested in nerdy tech info will read it anyway
