As an author I would greatly appreciate any suggestions in what kind of stats you would want us to gather and share.

Just FYI, "to wear (out)" has an irregular past tense, and past participle forms: "wore" and "worn". So:

1) These disk, because of constant throughput, wore out.

2) These disk, because of constant throughput, are worn out.

don't just trust the drive's SMART attributes - try to independently confirm when and how the drive is failing

techreport did a long-term experiment on this (but with limited samples): https://techreport.com/review/27062/the-ssd-endurance-experi...
