I am running a server, and I moved it to a new partition and it became much faster. Now, after 1 month it's becoming slower. I defragment once a day. The server uses the disk a lot(about 10mb/second all the time for 1 month continuously) and I'm scared that it weared out the disk... Do SSD's wear less?
The temperature stays at around 50C
Bearings wear out, grease dries out, bad shutdowns cause head crashes.
Modern hard drives are a bit tougher than in the bad old days.
I start worrying at about six years for server drives that run 24/7
This is on drives spec'd out for server operation, if you're using server grade stuff you have no worries.
The previous answer didn't address the comment that this was doing it after 1 month. Even a consumer-grade 'black' hard-drive would not simply 'slow down'. You would have other indications of failing mechanics.
Moreover, using 'server-grade' hardware does not give you 'no worries' if data is managed incorrectly.
This is likely a data-management/organization issue or even a network issue, and not likely a physical hard-drive issue. There are indicators.
Also, if it's requiring constant traffic and access, consider a separate NAS device. Most modern OS's manage fragmentation on their own, not requiring a system-impairing constant defrag routine.
