You don't really need the linux feature of keeping a time stamp of the
last read access to each file/folder, so to reduce 'wear and tear' on a
solid state drive, you might want to do mounts of ssd partitions
mount -o noatime etc, etc, etc.
{the devices are rated for a large, but finite number of writes, and
overnight
cron jobs to freshen the database used by the locate command will visit
at a minimum each directory on the system, which will freshen those atime
entries in each directory inode, unless you mount with this setting.}

So once a day writing, and 100000 write cycles before failure= 300
years. Perhaps something else will be a problem before then.

Ie, unless an area is being written to something like once an hour or
more raplidly, it
does not seem particularly worrysome.
