So I just bought a A-Data Premier SP550 120GB SSD and learned that is a TLC type of SSD. So I know its read/write capabilities aren't the best but I have google chrome and a good number of programs on there that I use everyday. So will opening and using these programs cause my ssd to read/write and what other things will probably make my ssd read and write? Thanks

Don't worry about things like that, it's like people I see that try to drive around every dip and bump in the road. Just use it, the lifespan it has is more then long enough to run your computer till probably something else fails. I have used SSD drives that are over 5 years old by now with no issues.

Any time you do anything on the drive, it will get used. Opening a program, closing a program, etc.. do you watch...

So if opening programs is only a disk-read process, will opening programs daily multiple times impact my ssd's life span majorly? I also want this ssd to last as long as possible.

Any time you do anything on the drive, it will get used. Opening a program, closing a program, etc.. do you watch streaming videos or play games? That uses the drive about a few 100 times more than opening and closing a program.
