IDK if this is still the case fo SSDs, but I remember being stoked AF the first time I heard of consumer ones because I knew the number 1 cause of data loss on a HDD was the physical parts that move deteriorating from movement, so a drive that didn't have moving parts could last forever! But then I found out about the limited read/writes they had and was disappointed. Nevermind it likely wouldn't hit the limit with my kind of usage; it wasn't forever and that bummed me out.
