Yeah...I dont get this KAPOW mentality either. Been playing with PC’s since 1990 and only seen one harddrive in 1991 deteriorate. So i replaced it before it died. BTE..I caught it by running a Defrag program to spot the bad blocks. Do that every month and other standard disc maintenance and you’ll be fine.
**The deteriorating hard drive was a Maxtor 250MB..a monster for 1991.
Don’t defrag SSDs.
