Hey Jow Forums how long to modern ssd's last?
I have a 250gb samsung evo 860 as my main drive and 1tb hdd as my secondary drive. people recommended to me that i download directly to hdd to not wear my ssd down, but my workflow is so much easier if i download directly to my desktop (which can only be on the ssd), and then i move items to hdd. should i care about the lifespan at all?

SSDs wear with writes. Modern SSDs are way more reliable than they used to be, but it's still a good practice to apply the same logic you use with software i.e. frequently accessed data on SSD and archival on HDD.
If your HDD is absolute trash and bottlenecks the rest of the system go ahead with downloading to the SSD, they're going down in price anyways and you're supposed to do backups anyways so failure won't be an issue. What do you mean specifically with easier workflow? Can't be arsed to change download directories?

decades longer than you will keep it.

the current ones they selling and every one is shilling as so cheap are quad nand they will die in like 3years the ones sold a year ago where triple nand they will like 5years the double ones they sold in the early 2010s last like 10years and the single nand before that last like 20years.
basically you guys are shilling how good value for money they are not but they will die in 3years or even faster if you download lots of anime and movies and shit and constantly switch up games or have games with big patches.
buying a ssd now is retarded buying a second hand one off some retard that was made before 2014 will last way longer than even a new one today. and be faster.

Yeah don't worry unless you aren't planning on upgrading in 20 years or so.

They last longer than HDDs and are more reliable.
When they ultimately fail, they safely turn into read-only mode.

>retards that don't know what Qnand is and think they have "improved"
they die faster now you retards that's why they are cheaper.

TLC is an easy 20 years at average use.

no they don't you dumb cunt you just praying to go your 2tb one you got on blackfirday isn't shit. it will be dead in 3years or less read up why they are actually cheaper now you mong.
modern HDD last longer than even the 1500$ single nand ssds from the 2000s which are the ones that last the longest and are used in servers still.

>oh no my $100 SSD might die in 10 years because I download files to it everyday
This is some NEET level paranoia.
