It is a M.2 WD GreenIf you're thinking of swap's effect on the lifespan of the drive, it should be fine. In the early days of SSDs the common worry about SSDs getting wrecked by disk writes may or may not have been warranted, but these days I wouldn't worry about it. For example, the 250 GB Crucial MX500, a relatively affordable drive, promises an endurance of 100 TB total bytes written or, as they put it, 54 GB written every day for five years [1].
I've got rust here that's been spinning for ~12 years in my basement, 24x7, and I expect it to spin for a while longer.
I can't quite come to terms with the idea of storage with a suicide clock, ticking away.
It's likely that, sometime in the next year, I wll be replacing that hardware, but if that happens, the hardware will retire on my schedule, instead of losing its own blue smoke, by itself.
