> Should I be worried that putting a swap on an SSD will cause it to wear out fast due to many write cycles? This risk is hugely overstated for most use cases based on people having 'baggage' from 'dumb' flash memory cards. eMMC is another story (because these are basically 'dumb' flash memory cards) Recently read an article by samsung where they claim that 3d nand SSD drives can handle ~1x full drive write per day (e.g. 1TB drive -> 1TB/day) and still last the rated lifetime, and that v-nand can handle something like 5-10x (don't remember off hand precice figures, but it was easily googlable). Yes, this is a vendor figure - but should be at least ballpark accurate I'd think. Also, many SMART-capable drives show their estimated write cycle lifetime in SMART status (again, vendor figure, but still) .. if you check this on your laptop I bet you will be surprised at how low the figure is.
