i read that ssd have trouble writing and that it can cause them to fail if they wright too much. i bought a sandisk plus 480 gb ssd and was wondering if i sould use it for my scratch disk or sould i use my 2tb wd blue for a scratch disk and the ssd for the instelletion .
i heard somewhere that a turture test was done for 6 ssds and the one that died first died after writing 700tb to the ssd
will my ssd last five years with everyday zbrush use witout reaching a total of 700tb writen to it

about my pc i bought a new pc and it will have a 8700k
32 gb ddr 4 ram
gtx 1070ti
2tb wd blue
asus z370 x hero motherboard
sandisk plus ssd 480 gb

SSDs do have a limited life. It’s best to use them for parts of the system that you want to load quickly rather than for scratch disks or page files that are written to often. So, for example, I have the Windows OS and most of my programs on an SSD, with the Windows page file and ZBrush’s scratch disk on a conventional HDD, which I also use for data storage. (I’ve set up different partitions but that’s not essential.)
