It will highly vary depending on use case. I have been using the same SSD (Samsung 850 evo) since 2015. First used on my gaming desktop, then on my college laptop, now in my gaming desktop again. I just make sure to keep it at ~25% to ~50% capacity to give the controller an easy time and I try to stick to mostly read only workloads (gaming). SMART report from that drive: https://pastebin.com/raw/HyPE6aHm
For my disk for my exact use case: ~4 years of operation. 88% of lifespan remaining.

Your mileage will almost definitely vary.
