The amount of writes required to kill an SSD aren’t going to be seen in the real world on a timescale of less than 10 years unless you’re really doing something wild that you shouldn’t be.
An SD card might fail after it’s full capacity being written a handful of times, SSDs can survive that several hundred times over. Seriously look up the terrabytes written specs for various storage mediums and calculate out the daily amount of writes. Oftentimes with SSDs you’d have to literally write a terrabytes of data a week to actually see a problem
Not within the computer’s lifetime. Consumer-grade SSDs are generally rated for 3000-5000 write cycles or more, and contain some kind of wear levelling mechanism to distribute write operations over the entire physical medium to reduce the chance of individual block failures. The first SSD I ever bought is still going strong as my server’s root filesystem.
Wouldn’t an SSD run into problems down the line with too many Writes?
In my experience, that concern is way outdated.
Theoretically, yes, but I suspect the manufacturing quality of SD cards is a lot lower than SSDs
