Hey there,

I had the same issue with my own laptop SSD. It's a similar part number as yours and despite trying to find it, and classify it there was no way to find out. Using Samsung Magician and running the bench, I compared my results, and pretty much matched the SSD to a 970 Evo Plus, in term of sequential read/write and random IOPS. The 970 Evo Plus has 300TBW max. So that's what I'm basing my own one on.

Maybe you can do the same.

1. The TBW is just the warranty number. Highly likely it will last long beyond that number. Just like the age. A 5 year warranty does not mean it will die at 5 years + 2 days.
2. Highly unlikely you will ever reach that number, whatever it is, in normal consumer use.

My system has 7 SSD's. The current C drive is a 500GB 850 EVO.
The warranty TBW for that is 150TB.
The TBW of all 7 drives combined is just under 100TBW, some of these drives in 24/7 use since Nov-Dec 2014.


SSDs wearing out from too many write cycles is not really something to worry about.

Your drive will last for years. It will either die of something else, or be swapped out due to being too small, or the laptop will die long before that drive wears out from too many write cycles.

Samsung PM991 is a direct competition with WD SN530. Some OEMs even share part numbers between two, as long as the form factor is the same.
Since the SN530 warranty is up to 300TBW/512GB, I would assume Samsung offers similar range.
