It's not like you really want to use SSD for frequently used swap though, it's just going cause unnecessary wear.



Stick of cheapest 1tb nvme is around 115 EUR (qlc) where I live, so even if you have to change it every 2 years it still worth it.

And i measured disk usage on my desktops (home, job) and laptop, and my main dev "server" (xen, with bunch of vms).

Surprisingly my desktop had most writes to disk, but even then it would take me 6 years on the cheapest (qlc, kingston 1tb) before wearing it out

So i don't think that is a big issue, especially with how much you can improve your life, with faster swap.


both are probably true.
