    SSDs are very difficult to kill, you'd need more than a few timestamps to do any real damage.....

    I never thought this whole tech journalism gig would turn me into a mass murderer. Yet here I am, with the blood of six SSDs on my hands, and that’s not even the half of it. You see, these were not crimes of passion or rage, nor were they products of accident. More than 18 months ago, I vowed to push all six drives to their bitter ends. I didn’t do so in the name of god or country or even self-defense, either. I did it just to watch them die.

    Well On my 9 years old SSD after everyday use I have only 8 TB written. And on that test you posted, they talked about hunderts of TB when SSD starts doing problems.

    Yes. After reading that article I stopped worrying about wearing out my SSDs. This one was my first, it's had a hard life the past three years running multple Hyper-V virtual machines and I've still only written 17TB. The manufacturer's spec says it's good for 300TBW (Terabytes Written).

    Well, at your current rate of use I calculate it will take another 75 years to reach your TBW
