wtf, 55TB+ read/write in 2month? what the heck are you doing with your laptop?

This is my 11y/o SSD ( OCZ Vertex2 64GB ) on my laptop:

241 Lifetime_Writes_GiB 0x0032 000 000 000 Old_age Always - 3904

242 Lifetime_Reads_GiB 0x0032 000 000 000 Old_age Always - 5120

Did you even read the headline? I mean, it's kinda what this is all about.

I had a ridiculously high failure rate with the Vertex 2. I also still an OCZ drive of that era somewhere, which would work... But if you didn't use it for a while, it would be completely blank when you next used it.
