Hi everyone,

I was wondering what the best is for a SSD lifespan. (Intel 760p
(VMware)
Saving and using a virtual drive as a single file or as multiple files?

Thank you for awnsering,

Doesn't matter, it still has to write the same amount of data.

There won't be any performance difference nor are there any file size limitations so keep it simple and don't split the image. As far as lifespan is concerned either way wouldn't really matter.

Zero difference.
And with current SSD's, you have to try really really hard to kill it due to "lifespan".
