When using SSD cards, do not use the cheapest ypou can find. Buy one that
is really oversised and run "sudo fstrim -av" at regular intervals, e.g.
once a week.
I have 2;280/5006 running for a couple of years now. If I remember well,
I only had to replace the SSD card once. That was before I started using
fsrim.
