My three months old 256 GB shows 9 TB written and 0% used. I mainly write in VS Code on this machine.

For contrast, my PC “system” PCIe drive bought in 2018 shows 6,7TB, and “data” SATA SSD has 1,5TB wear, which is used for games, etc. The drive at work had around 8-10TB since 2016 last time I checked.

I was never concerned with wear, have moderate demands/usage and used these drives as much as needed.
