In a development environment, running rails s is a bit slow. I thought of moving my project files to the SSD. People say that we should not do too many writes and reads to an SSD. Will this damage the drive?

  • There seems to be a forming consensus that this either a) never really was a big problem, or b) that it isn't anymore. See [this](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9052925) article for example. Just in terms of read/write wear and tear, chances are your SSD will outlive the rest of your computer. – janfoeh Feb 18 '15 at 12:01

Practically, no.

People say that we should not do too many writes and reads to an SSD.

These people are probably referring to doing orders of magnitude more disk I/O than starting a rails app does.
