I am very new in this project and I have a question for the more savy.
Since I am running a laptop with SSD, I would like to know how much it is being used. Would hate to churn on my SSD lifespan.

I just read that the Mean time between failures on e.g. Sandisk SSDs is between 1,750,000 hours and 3,000,000 hours. Or in human understood values, 199 to 342 years.

So don't worry about it. Windows writes more times per minute to the page file than BOINC writes to disk.
