    I get what you’re saying, but after around 15 years of using all sorts of SSDs - I personally stopped thinking about write wear. I have not had a single SSD fail due to wear, those that failed have always failed at controller.

    I keep using Shadowplay 24/7. I’m using an old SSD (840 120gb) for that from god knows what year, but it shows 1% health for 5 years now with no signs of actual degradation happening, only smart warnings for years now.

    This disk was also running OS for 4-5 years.
