    No it’s not the same. Playing games, or loading assets causes no wear for the SSD.

      Well that’s just not factually accurate. The accurate thing would be it causes so little wear and tear it might as well not count on the memory chips. But using ANYTHING causes wear and tear to build up eventually and a SSD has more points of failure than just reading and writing to the memory.

        Nonsense. NAND flash memory is non-volatile and can be read from indefinitely without wearing out.

          You can’t read I said the SSD has more points of failure than the memory. And those points of failure go up the longer it’s used.

              Lol yeah man, SSDs last FOREVER, they never break down do they? Are you seriously implying that?
