In a similar vein, why can we not use the technology of RAM to prolong the life-cycle of an SSD?

    Doesn’t the ram do that itself? Otherwise reading/writing all that data would waste tons of time for the CPU.

      Yes - it’s been the job of the DRAM controller for almost the entire history of computing. But that’s still a part of the computer and if it stops working then your RAM will go blank in a fraction of a second
