If I download multiple large games over time—each around >120GB at a slow speed of 5 Mbps, will this cause more wear and tear on my NVMe SSD compared to copying the same amount of data quickly from another drive? Specifically, does the prolonged, small-scale writing from slow downloads impact SSD longevity more than faster, sequential writes?
