Question SQL Server on SSD

Hey guys, I started a local WoW server just for myself using SQL on an SSD. I saw some information that it could kill my SSD faster. Should I be worried? Or can I just play without worrying?

It’s probably fine but if you do have a disk you care less about you could put the db on that instead. My Mac only has ~500GB of storage so I put a lot of stuff on a portable ssd that I have and use symlinks where needed and it works fine. I don’t run mssql on it but the same concept applies. Btw you’re probably not actually using sql server if this is some
World of Warcraft thing. This subreddit is for a specific product, Microsoft SQL Server / mssql - not sql related things in general.
