Does dual booting on an SSD have any effect on it's lifespan?
R Richie Newton Guest Dec 10, 2017 #2 No. It's about the writes on the SSD that have an affect. The more writes that are done the more you reduce the life span of an SSD.

S Steven Swenson Guest Dec 10, 2017 #6 I've heard you just need to leave a certain amount of free space on it to get the longest life. I dunno how much.
