Does shutting down your PC harm SSD drives?

I want to understand whether this is a legend or really worth leaving the PC on ... OCZ Agility 3 disk, if anything.

"preserving" your PC will keep all of its components in working order for many years.
To do this, I recommend wrapping it in a sealed package, while it is very desirable in a vacuum package to remove excess moisture. Place it in a cool place protected from sunlight. Do not subject to shock or shock during storage.

I think this legend was born by SSDs on SandForce controllers, which have problems with sleep mode. After waking up, the disk is no longer detected, with all the consequences ( BSOD , freeze , warranty return).
Some owners of such drives prefer to keep the computer turned on for their own peace of mind.

If you think logically, then the included computer, even when idle, will periodically write something to the disk (how much and how often, depends on your settings). Drop logs, etc.
On the other hand, when you turn off the OS, it will still dump unwritten logs and other information on the screw (again, it depends on how your OS is configured).
I have an SSD in my laptop. He works 3-8 hours a day. I prefer to turn it off, because. even if it is more harmful to the SSD (which I strongly doubt), then the harm from the dust that the cooling system sucks in over 16-21 hours of possible downtime is much greater.

Depends on the type and settings of the OS. And in any case, during idle operation, the computer winds up 4500r much earlier than the screw dies from writing when it is turned off.

SSDs have no mechanics. If it hurts them, it means glitches. It's better to learn about glitches sooner rather than later. Backups from wear and tear and from glitches, no one canceled.

Does it write to disk when you turn it off? So it hurts.
Another question is whether it is necessary to worry about this.
