Also make sure that the TEMP/TMP folders are on the SSD.

Nope, that'll eat precious NAND blocks on that SSD, eke out that endurance by putting your temp folders in a ramdisk if you can spare the memory.

I have come to accept that I will be replacing SSDs periodically. Either because they're worn out, or because a newer/faster/better technology is available.

A RAM disk is an interesting alternative for sure. The last time I used one was when I did OS/2 development using IBM VisualAge IDE. Which sorely needed it...

Windows doesn't have a driver for one out of the box, but there is a freeware one named ImDisk that looks widely used.

Thanks for mental nudge.

NAND blocks aren't precious now. Just buy large reliable SSD (may have around 500TBW) and just forget it.
