I run 32GB and I still run a swapfile. My ssd is still going after 3 years, but everything dies.

    My SSDs are like ten to 15 years old, none are dead at this point. The cargo cult of swap files trashing everything.

    I used to make use of a 64 GB RAM machine that still swapped like crazy, because I'm a shitty programmer (not really my field). I totally destroyed my SSD by swapping daily huge amounts of data, but the thing survived the whole process. Of course it died, but under normal circumstances I can't see why people would be preoccupied for wearing their SSDs.
