Yea, on second thought, long term screen recording like this would be a terrible waste of silicon. At 150 MB/s, 46 days of nonstop recording would exhaust the entire 600 TBW of a 1 TB consumer SSD. And for fun: a high-end 500 GB SSD writing at 3500 MB/s could burn its 300 TBW in a single day, not counting the EoL slowdown.
Curiously, RAID 0 hard disks are perfect for such workloads, yet the blogger has still chosen to use consumer grade SSDs.
