Guys is this a thing of the past?

Can you store windows, the swap file and all apps on the SSD drive just fine nowadays without it eating up the max number of writes? Teh swap fiel particulalrly....

Sorry for a question that must have been asked a million times. Appreciate the current view....!
 
The 25nm chips can do 2,500 read / write cycles per cell on average.

If you have a 60GB SSD and have read / written 10TB to it, you have only used 166 of those cycles.
Realistically you're looking at ~100TB of transfers before the cells start failing to write.
