One of the most "bang for your buck" methods of improving compling

I've gone through 5 SSDs in as many years - they don't last. And, these
were not cheap ones - they cost me ~$600 USD each for 1TB. I've gone
back to rotating magnetic media as I've only lost 2 of those in 35 years...
I have no idea what you're doing to those poor drives then. :) My main
machine has been booting from a 500GB SSD without issue for the last ~4
years. I've got other drives of smaller sizes in service for longer, also
without issue. I use either Windows 7 or Windows 10 Ent. on those.
I've got 1TB Samsung T3 (external USB3, 1TB) that I've been running for
the last ~2+ years without fail and it hosts VMWare Workstation images
that I use on a daily basis for software development.
