does write/delete on normal hdd affect ssd write cycle?

[dawnknight]

as above...was wondering if writing/deleting file on normal hdd affect ssd write cycle lifespan

eg. consider this typical setup: install OS on ssd (C drive) and system also has another normal hdd ie non-ssd, say drive E

when u delete a file that was originally located on the normal hdd, it goes into the recycle bin. but the recycle bin is on desktop ie on the ssd. then when u empty recycle bin, some write cycle amount is spent up on the ssd. does this mean that even if u dont write/erase from ssd, the ssd lifespan will still be used up by a bit?

what about "shift+delete"? eg u have a file on the normal hdd, u "shift+delete" it, so it doesnt go to recycle bin, but the OS still has to do some work to "shift-delete" it, so does it also mean that some bit of ssd lifespan is being used up?

any expert/pro care to shed light on these queries thanx in advc~

hahahahaha, (assuming you're using a Samsung 840 256GB, which uses the 'weaker' TLC cells) unless you write 194GB of data a day for 10 years, your SSD should not run out of memory space which would affect it's lifespan... see this for more info...

Although the recycle bin is location in desktop, the physical location of the drive's recycle bin is in the drive itself.
