That is a fair point.  I just checked and my root drive ssd is only up
to 1TB written, and a wear leveling count of 16, whatever that means,
after 90 days of operation.  That translates to about 4 TB per year
which means it will probably last a lot longer than any of the
spinning drives in my linux box.  But, I do try to minimize writes to
it all the same.
