Are you joking?

You bought 30 64GB SSDs from 2010 in 2021?

You realise 3k buys you much faster, much higher capacity modern SSDs with the same longevity characteristics? Hell, if it really matters there's still some optane floating around, with 100k cycle endurance ratings and much, much better performance.

Not the same longevity characteristics, I thought newer SSDs are TLC compared to SLC of old SSDs

  • Typically true. The more expensive the drive the more likely it'll be MLC or SLC, and if you're willing to go out of spec it's usually possible to reprogram a drive controller to operate in SLC mode.
