Answer 1

The SSD makes no difference what data to write - encrypted or not, but the volume is the same. So the resource will be spent at the same rate.

Answer 2

Doesn't affect at all.

Answer 3

Do not be afraid, practice has shown that Linux (in my case, Linux Mint 18) makes host writes and reads more than 1.5 times less than Windows. SSDs of recent years have become much more durable and their resource exceeds more than 100 TB of host records, which can be enough for ~15 years of normal use.

Answer 4

and yet a little tuning does not hurt. for example, mount ssd partitions in /etc/fstab with the noatime option will significantly reduce the number of disk writes and speed up the work. (noatime disables the “last access to each file” fixation, which means that every time the system reads a file, it also writes to disk. If you disable this feature, there will be no side effects.)
