Can somebody explain what "Average Block-Erase Count" means?

Hey guys. question above. I have Crucial Mx100 ssd, and I have "Average Block-Erase Count" 3. What does it mean?

From what I can gather that number means how many times the SSD has be completely written to. So if you have a 120 GB SSD and have written say 360 GB of data that count would be 3 because its written data 3 times to the entire SSD.

Each SSD has a max number of cycles. usually a few thousand at least. So don't worry too much about it unless it gets like 3000 and not 3 lol

Well I've got 256Gb SSD, and currently it's 134Gb/256Gb used space.. that number increased from 1 to 3 in 4 days, so I'm not sure it means what you said it means

Yea again I'm not 100% sure either but from what I have read around that was it seemed like it was. There isn't a whole lot of solid info on that SMART and the little info there is I even have a hard time understanding.
