A quick websearch shows numerous recent articles asserting that SSD life
is actually better than HDD life.  For some definitions of lifetime,
YMMV, don't trust everything you read, etc....

I'd be rather surprised if an SSD doesn't do its own wear-leveling these
days, USB flash drives do it.

I did kill a very old FAT-formatted USB flash drive many years ago; the
data was fine but the fixed-position FAT table got beat to death and
eventually wouldn't accept my multiple-times-per-day updates.
