The SSD in my current desktop, a Samsung 960 Pro 1TB, has a warranty for 800 TBW or 5 years. So that's 800/5/365.25*1000 ~= 438 GB per day, every single day.
And it's been documented the Samsung drives can do a lot more than the warranty is good for.
Either you're doing something else weird, or you're not really wearing them out.
