I have that router. It is a pretty good unit but no Gigabit so slower file transfers if you happen to have a NAS and use the wired connection (which I do). See if you can pick up the E4200 refurbished models from NCIX. Great deal around $65:

I assumed affecting health and performance is two different things...
Did the poster mean performance or health?
Sometimes I'm too lazy to clean up my desktop full of "junk"
but I don't notice my computer that slow so I don't really care too much.
But if it's going to affect the life of my SSD, I better start cleaning up!

It does not affect the performance of your SSD unless it is a few specific models - Crucial m4 is affected, and so are the Samsungs, I think. This is due to how the controllers work on those chips. Sandforce drives are fine as well.
As far as I know it does not affect the health of the SSD either. SSD health is mostly based on the life cycle - how many times you have written to the drive. Most people will never see the limit on the drive unless you run the computer as a server and have a crazy amount of IO going....
