SLC drives are good for at least 100,000 cycles and all current SSD drives
use wear levelling plus even more generous levels of sparing than
mechanical HDDs. Even for constant spooling/unspooling (which is likely
less wear than some other operations) that translates to a disk lifetime
well in excess of the rest of the server components.

WRT the ramdisk comment: Yes, but...... how much is 100+Gb of ram?
