SATA SSDs last a long time, yes.
I'd imagine OP is actually talking about NVMe though, which does NOT - or at least not on the scale of old SSDs.
I have put more than a couple NVMes in the ewaste bin over the last few years.
We buy and use them for the performance though - and I for one want the web to feel snappy, so while it could be read/write heavy, no way I'd be moving the cache off my fastest disk.
you mean SATA has more life ?
Oddly, the data seems to disagree. That was always my impression though. Could simply be that NVMe TBW values have caught up in the last few years, as they are a LOT higher now than I remember then being ~6-8 years ago.
