Generally speaking, the larger the SSD, the more lifespan one can expect from it - for example, the 4TB WD Red M.2 2280 SN700...5.1PBW lifespan equates to a .87 Drive Writes-Per-Day rating over 5 years = 3.49TB/Day/5Years; I don't believe I could be capable to churning that much data.
Even the 2TB model is rated for 2.5PBW life; which is .68 Drive Writes Per Day over 5 years; or 1.36TBW/Day/5 Years. Still really high.
So, all this has me asking the question, is there's any negative impact to having a > 1TB Cache VDEV
My TrueNAS Core system has 256GB RAM. I could make a case for not using a cache VDEV; but it's there.
