As per my previous comment, I had /var, /var/log, /home/me/.cache, among many other frequently written directories on the SSD since 2019. SSDs have fewer write cycles than HDDs, it's not "fake news".

"However, SSDs are generally more expensive on a per-gigabyte basis and have a finite number of write cycles, which can lead to data loss over time."

I'm not really sure why exactly mine it's coil whining, it happens occasionally and nothing else happens aside from the high-pitched sound, but it's coil whining.
