> I wanted to reduce write-wear on my ssd

Modern SSDs are pretty good at things like wear levelling.

For example [1] reports that a bunch of 256 GB SSDs lasted to 2000+ terabytes written, and a handful up to 7000 terabytes written. So you could saturate a 100 megabit internet connection for 5 years before even a small SSD would wear out. And an SSD 4x the size has 4x the life.

If you're running on a raspberry pi with a microsd card for storage, feel free to keep worrying though :)
