That would be wild if it was caused by logging, even a cheap piece of crap SSD is usually rated for 500TBW.

Saw a posting this past week on SSD drive failures. They’re blaming a lot of it on ‘over-logging’ – too much writing trivial, unnecessary data to logs. I imagine it gets worse when realtime data like OpenTelemetry get involved.
Until I saw that, never thought there was such a thing as ‘too much logging.’ Wonder if there are any ways around it, other than putting logs on spinny disks.

Oh I’m not moving that much data to log, and the logs I read are all the normal stuff, nothing exotic. I guess if it were a huge cooperation, that had every Nagios plugin known to man and logging/log-rotating that because of logs, yeah I guess.
