SSD's if you're concerned about writes.
For example the intel S4610is rated at 6 PBW (6,000 TB) or roughly 3 DWPD.
Intel P series or optane based products have far higher endurance but

Um. Let me think. NO, in fact, unless you need storage, SSDs are the way to

The only issue with SSDs is the write endurance, and most of them now have
a certain percentage of spare cells to stave that off for a while. They
generally won't go toes up all at once, but will lose cells, or blocks of
cells at some point. You will get more endurance if you oversize them to

Doing the PDFs yes. The Windows 10 thing is too non-specific to say. Chrome
OS has evolved into a VM host kind of environment, and you can do more with
it than most people realize. Overall, it is mainly simpler and less fiddly
