M.2 Total Lifetime

[Skringo]

Hello everyone, I was wondering how long a m.2 ssd would last. Specifically this one: Sandisk X400 256GB M.2-2280. So... Yeah throw out those answers because I couldn't find anything by doing a simple search, and I'm too lazy to try and find it deep in the crevices of the ocean.

The Datasheet -- https://www.sandisk.com/content/dam/sandisk-main/en_us/assets/resources/enterprise/data-sheets/X400-datasheet-v1-1.pdf lists the guaranteed endurance -- 80TB written. For the 5 year warranty period, that would be writing 45GB / day for the entire 5 year period. And, most field studies have shown greater durability than the advertised.
