Sectors (512) written: 5012069568 which I think maths to ~2.4TB.  My guest OS's, ISO builds, and downloads are managed via spinning rust.  Though the SSD does handle swap/page cache, etc.

I'm like 4-5 Debian ISO builds deep right now without sleep--brain is kinda mushy atm

Most used SSD has 16,5TB written. 20k on hours.
That's... really not a lot.

My newest... 8 months old

Looking at your responses, I write a lot of data.

[xtrafrood]

I've had my SSD since August, 9 2018.  Most of my writes were YT videos, swap space, system updates, occasional software compiling, and Firefox.

Oh no

41 TB on a 240gb MLC drive should be fine. Maybe overheat or sumtn'

Around 4 years of consistant daily use. Main boot/everything disk. Really amazing. I would have never known. Guess I am not that hard core...

I wonder how samsung meters their endurance,  the spec sheet says 140TB on the 500gb drive, so. how can 33TB write not put Any dent in that at all ?

It's going to say good because even at 33% used, it still has tons and tons of life left.
Most data just sits there is only moved around for wear leveling.

At current wear rates it has 6-8 years of life left before it's expected to even start compensating for wear. Why warn you about it now?
If they did it would just cause you to become concerned, buy another and complain about how it started to wear out before you expected it to.

I've been looking at these numbers and I'm pretty sure it's wrong.
This would put this drive pretty much at the end of it's lifespan, which is certainly possible, however the amount of data it would need to write in order to make it to this point seems impossible.

I bought this brand new start of 2014 IIRC.

Mine is rated for 220TB, and having written 59TB, my lvl is 87%,  assuming it wasn't full cycles, that at least make sense.

To put it at 100% is a bit misleading.

[Leslieann]

It's probably a buffer, where as long as it's above a certain amount it reads 100%, this keeps people from freaking out and thinking something is wrong when there isn't. BMW had to do to their temp gauges when people started buying for the name rather than performance. The would freak out if the needle went above the mid point even though it was perfectly within normal operating temps.

To a degree, it makes sense, like I said, you wouldn't want someone seeing 80% and thinking they needed to run out and replace it even if it had years of perfectly normal life left.

It is interesting how writing all that data hasn't resulted in any drop in health on the chart.
