Yep and it's possible to get much more out of it.

I've been running a Crucial MX100 256 GB SSD for 10 years. It's at 63% health from a S.M.A.R.T. readout. It's been powered on 125 times over ~10 years and transferred 56 TB in that time. It's my main Windows partition and runs WSL 2 where I've built and ran thousands of Docker images. Basically, it hasn't been sitting here unused.

0.5% is a meaningful difference in defect rates, but simply isn’t meaningful on an individual scale.
