It's a sliding scale. SSDs intended for use in servers usually have more spare area than client/consumer SSDs, and most of their specifications assume they're full. A lot of enterprise SSDs also include features to allow the user to adjust the usable capacity, and the write endurance rating and warranty will scale to match.
