Enjoy your SSD carefree for years and years

18. Now you'll be able to enjoy your SSD carefree!

This should have been step 1. SSDs have a massive lifetime these days, you don't need to do any of the other steps, some of them will even slow down your computer.

The 850 Pro I've got in my machine has a stated write lifetime of 150TB.

And chances are, it'll do a lot more than that, it's just the number they'll look at for the 10 year warranty.
