How long this SSD will last?

[sidratulmuntaha2026]

I have a plan to buy this SSD and use it as a dedicated Windows drive.

https://www.wdc.com/products/internal-ssd/wd-green-ssd.html - 120GB variant

What's the TBW value of this SSD? It only provides reliability as MTTF - up to 1M hours. But I want to know the exact specs like P/E cycle limit and TBW of this SSD.

SSD has theoretically certain life span and HDD is theoretically built to last forever.
In the reality, at least what I saw in real life since my very first SSD in 2011, I have never seen any of my SSD got broken but I had already at least 3 broken HDD since 2011.
I have used Crucial M4, Samsung EVO, etc.

The more freespace you left on the SSD, the longer it should survive. Thus, do not get too small SSD. I would get at least 250GB anyway or you won't have much on the SSD.

SSD life span is not something you should be worrying about

Nobody, no vendor is going to tell you that. Good luck with it.

I see WD is getting into the game... I can say if you stick with the "big boys" Samsung, Crucial, Sandisk, they should last until they become obsolete.
