I'm not much of PC user, isn't a boot drive gonna be pretty much read only ? it's write cycles that kill drives.

For the most part the c drive gets all the constant writes. Most ppl also have there downloads going there. Windows updates, temp data, savegames and most of the programs you install and uninstall usually get stored there. A drive dedicated for games for example usually gets them written on there for longer periods of time.

My dedicated 512gb ssd downloads drive shows around 5tb of data written thru its lifetime. Dedicated game drive a 1tb ssd has 6tb. And my small boot ssd 250gb has 12.6tb of writes on it. I can imagine most ppl push most stuff thru there c drive not using any seperate drives. Laptops are kind of limited especially. * +
