Hi Gyorgyi,

Yes that's correct.
And okay good.  Yes, EDEX does **a lot** of writing because of all the data it 
brings down,
and from what I understand, you want to bring down all the data we do and some. 
 SSD's help
because they're very fast at writing but have the trade off of a lifetime limit 
at some point.
I think it would be safe to try and plan for some time in the future of 
replacing the SSD, 
just knowing that's something that will probably have to happen in order to 
keep the EDEX
server effective at processing and making data available.
Good luck!
