Yes, SSDs do have limited writes. But they’re not as bad as people make out. On average, they’ll last 6 to 8 years - the same as a standard hard drive. I’ve never had an SSD fail, and i’ve used loads of them - whereas mechanical drives, that’s another story. I wouldn’t use an SSD in applications where i was just writing data, for example a backup or file storage drive. But as a system drive, you can’t beat them - they’re fast, too.
