Technically, every time you read or write to it, it degrades a little. Dont worry, though, as this degrade is negligeable.

i believe read has a less impact

it took 3 years of daily use of around 4-5 hours to kill the first SSD i owned!!

 

Seriously treat an SSD in exactly the same way as you would a mech drive, they have just the same ability to live and or die suddenly. Just don't defrag it!

Read has very little or no impact on SSD endurance and longevity, writing to is what SSD's hate

In my desktop the ssd recently just ticked over 40k operating hours, a hard drive in the system died at 36k hours. My laptops ssd is quiet abit newer with only just over 10k operating hours.

Given that Techreport took a handful of of-the-shelf consumer grade SSDs past 1 PB(yes, one petabyte) of writes, you should be perfectly fine using exactly the same as any other drive.. Even if you abused it with writes, it would probably still last much longer than any mechanical drive you own..

 

Just don't defrag an SSD.

I don't even know when did i buy this SSD, but it definitely wasn't yesterday, and it's still kicking without any problems. No special treatment needed for them, just make sure trim works, don't defrag, and you are fine, you'll probably buy a better one before it dies.
