should i put my pc to sleep or hibernate or shutdown on a SSD for better lifespan ?

Purely to answer your question, Sleep/Shutdown. Hibernate still = disk writes, though personally I don't like hibernate or sleep just because I've had to many failed to boot moments because of them. Clean shutdown habitually and SSD boot time is low enough not to care about the other options.

That said, I'd love to know what your doing to your SSD that makes you think you will wear it out before you replace it with a bigger/better one. My 2 year old Intel that see's usual Tom's reader usage (daily gaming/boot drive) still thinks it is at 90%+ life.

I stopped even thinking about SSD lifetime, I don't run enterprise databases 24/7.

Either, neither...
SSD lifespan is not a consideration in normal use.

My eldest SSD is almost 4 years old. Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB. Used to be the OS drive, now just a secondary. Basically on 24/7.
31,736 hours, 12.5 TB total writes. Still reporting 99% life left.

I am using an SSD too, on my work PC, I usually put it into hibernate mode, I got the SSD a pretty long time ago, maybe about 2 years, and now its at 96% health. I think if I didnt put it to hibernate it will be at 100% health. Gonna switch it to sleep mode to save my SSD from dying earlier. Lol. Cause I read articles mentioning that Hibernate mode usually keeps the files on the disk. So yea. And as bimbam360mentioned too.. heh. Just thought u should know. lol
