Is it actually killing the SSD (SSD can no longer be used) or just corrupting the data on the SSD? It's hard to make out from all the comments and news articles.

"Just" corrupting your filesystem...

Relative seriousness, both drive damage and filesystem damage are both bad but by slightly different degrees.

There is more chance of being able to fix data corruption, than being able to fix a bricked drive or one with unbearable blocks.

Self rely as I'm too late to edit out a slide-keyboard error: unbearable -> unreadable
