Are using SSDs fine for archival as long as your filesystem implements
wear leveling and trimming?

Ignore "Nux Vomica" Larry here, he's too dense to even try using an
NVMe device, he'll claim the speed is unnecessary, well sure since he
literally boots to a blank screen, having to bring up a context menu

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
