  • In my experience it’s also very very hard to wear out an SSD. It’s limited, but mostly the limit is very very far away. I treat those warnings as largely fud. Most common failure more seems to be that the controller in the drive dies for some reason and the drive just goes completely dead and never gets detected again. There won’t be warnings from any smart values either.

    Or the drive is just replaced with a bigger faster one, maybe on a different bus/connector or something, and forgotten in a drawer or a box somewhere.

    Naturally it’s still worth trying to enable trim and limit writes if there’s no downside. It can only help in case the drive does get an exceptionally long service life. But I’d say use it while it’s still useful and keep fresh and verified backups.

    It might be able to give you tables or otherwise collated sets of information about multiple products etc.

    I don’t know if Google does, but LLMs can. Also do unit conversions. You probably still want to check the critical ones. It’s a bit like using an encyclopedia or a catalog except more convenient and even less reliable.
