    honestly curious, why the hell was this downvoted? I work in this space and I thought this was still the generally accepted advice?

      Because people are thinking through specific niche use cases coupled with “Well it works for me and I never do anything ‘wrong’”.

      I’ll definitely admit that I made the mistake of trying to have a bit of fun when talking about something that triggers the dunning kruger effect. But people SHOULD be aware of how different use patterns impacts performance, how that performance impacts users, and generally how different use patterns impact wear and tear of the drive.
