I have when a misconfigured spark job I was debugging was filling hard drives with tb of error logs and killing the drives.

That was a pretty weird edge case though, and I don’t think the drives were melting, plus this was closer to 10 years ago when SSD write lifetimes were crappy and we bought a bad batch of drives.
