You mention frigate specifically. Were you running this on the system when the drive failed, or is this a future endeavour?
I bring this up because I also use frigate, and for some time I was running with a misconfigured docker compose that drove my SSD wearout to 40% in a matter of months.
Make sure that the tmpfs is configured per the frigate documentation and example config. If misconfigured like mine was, all of that IO is on disk. I believe the ramdisk is used for temp storage of camera streams, until an event occurs and the corresponding clip is committed to disk.
Good luck!
