Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

Look around the used market in your area. Likely can build a cheap baremetal system.

It might be best in the learning stages to keep your lab seperate from your daily driver machines, incase you mess up.

I just want to mention: wizards with full tadpoles, attck roll reduction with bonus damage roll increases + magic missle at 6th level pops off similarly as hard and never misses. Was doing roughly 170-210 damage a round.

Cant wait to see what other crazy builds people figure out!

Man it’s wild, people can have their own opinions on anything they want in any manner they want. Why you trying to gatekeep opinions. Kind weird dude.

Pop a google search for pokemon scarlet violet trade discord. Highly reccomend joining. Theres a channel there to post and ask for trades. Used it going for my pokedex completion at launch.

Not every pokemon is availble in S/V, so you might need to look up a list of whats possible.

You can also use the pokemon home app to trade pver pokemon from the DS and Switch games.

Internet acces is needed for all the above however.
