Is there any reason to be concerned about high frequency writes like temp folders and browser cache (etc) on good quality ssd's like Intel? I don't recall many posts of ssd's wearing even though they've been out for a while, and none regarding Intel failures. Someone in the Lenovo forum posted that it'd be a good idea to have extra ram to have all this write to that instead of the ssd, but I'm wondering if there's any need for that.
Thanks.

no there isn't. use your SSD just as a HDD. No modern day SSD needs TLC for typical laptop/desktop usage(or else it should be in the garbage bin).

ssds are designed for that use.

Remember that all those high frequency writes are also tiny in amount.

Unless you're an extreme user, you have nothing to be worried about.

I do suggest setting a memory cache for Firefox, that way the SSD can idle quicker. -

Wear from temp folders, browser cache, etc?
