Torrenting on SSD will kill it faster.

Don't forget, the SSD on M2 is not removable.

Be warned.

I had no issues with returns so far for Shopee or Lazada, though 1 seller blocked me from buying from their shop after that  doh.gif

If u torrenting 24x7, the SSD will die after 3-4 years. Better u torrenting onto an external HDD instead. Cheaper and better.

Not really.

My Mac Mini 2012 SSD died after 7 years of 24x7 boot up and light usage. I never turned it off since upgraded to SSD back in 2015. Just this year, the Mac Mini won't boot and after removing the SSD, CrystalDisk reported the SSD health is 1% or 69876 hours.

Now, a 2012 Mac Mini can easily replace the SSD but newer M1 or M2 no such luck.

So, good luck in your adventures.

Torrenting casually is fine, as long as you don't do it 24/7 - 300+ days a year non stop like blu-ray seller sweat.gif
For that you might as well just get a cheap PC and leave it running at home all day-year.
