   Hej Wilfred!   
      
   > Why are you unnecessarily wearing down your SSD cells with such a

   I don't that often.  At the moment I wanted a comparable command to the   
   slackware-current write to the usb pendrives without actually writing   
   slackware-current to the disk.  I am and have been aware of wear levelling.  I   
   have yet to have any SSD fail on me.  I have one (sata) that has been in use   
   for 20 years now and shows no sign of giving up.  I also have older ones that   
   lack a proper interface since their host machines have long outlived their   
   usefullness.  40 and 44 pin ide jobbers.  If I remember correctly they had   
   "flash-ttyinux of the 21st century" embbeded on them.  That would make them    
   ~25 years old now.  Also have many bootable compact flash disks that go back   
   to the late 1990's.  I have no idea if they would still boot.  Last time I   
   checked they did.   
      
   > No, awful! ;-)   
      
   Works for me.  :-)   
      
   Anyhow I am all done testing ... for now.  Just about to reboot the europoint   
   on a secondary nvme.  That was the disk in question that dd showed the 5 GB/s   
   transfer speed and it is still awesome despite dd zeroing what is now the root   
   partition.   
      
   Het leven is goed,
