Minor correction; plotting Chia on an SSD will wreck it, not "mining" Chia. The article gets it right, but the title might be misleading.<p>Really, it's a bit inconsistent to use the term "mining" for Chia. Plotting is done once per plot, and then can be farmed for eternity (or until the network decides your plot size is not difficult enough).<p>Long term, I suspect farming Chia on SSDs may end up being attractive due to the much lower power consumption and heat output.
