Since Virtual Machines tend to write their data to one specific virtual disk--therefore on one specific part of the disk--will running a virtual machine degrade the lifespan of the cells on the ssd? Or will the SSD know to spread out the writes to the other available cells (free space) and thus reduce wear.
The host system is running Mac OS X Yosemite.
I will degrade it the same amount if you wrote X GB to the drive. X is the size of the virtual machine's hdd. – Ramhound – 2014-11-10T19:18:52.293
