do frequent partition restores wear down an SSD?

[Swapjim]

Every couple of months I restore my Windows installation with ntfsclone. It's command line Linux utility similar to dd or ddrescue, only that it specializes in NTFS partitions. It's included in Clonezilla.

My question is, will doing this every 2 months wear down the drive?

If you're unfamiliar with ntfsclone, dd, ddrescue, or Clonezilla, but you have knowledge of another partition restore utility, like Acronis, then you can answer about that tool.

P.S.: I've posted under the Software and hardware tools section but if a moderator feels it's better suited at the Conventional hard drive section then by all means move the thread.

As write erase cycles are finite, every write 'wears down' the drive much like every breath you take wears you down. Sending TRIM commands before the restore may help a bit in reducing write amplification?

Code:

C:\Users\Swapjim>fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0  (Disabled)
ReFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0  (Disabled)

This means that TRIM is enabled, yes?
