I think the question is why does P&#x2F;E cycle count matter for storing YouTube videos? As videos are uploaded, you shard them with FEC across your SSD array, but once the blocks are written, when would you ever need to erase them? The only concern is longevity of a single block which requires some amount of P&#x2F;E (re-charging the cell) but lets say that&#x27;s just 1 full disk write per month to keep everything fresh...
