Your new SSD will slow down over time, and that's (sometimes) okay

I remember the sad times before SSDs were ubiquitous. We are now spoiled by lightning-fast boot times, near-instant app launches, and transfer speeds that make hard drives look like they belong in the Stone Age. So when I came to realize that SSDs slow down over time, it felt like a design flaw, or, worse yet, planned obsolescence. Either way, I can’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed.
