I don't think it tested 18 months of writing, it tested 18 months worth of writing.

They read and wrote data almost constantly at full speed for 18 months, which is very likely not what normal people using these drives would do with them. Please read the article.

The SSD Endurance Experiment represents the longest test TR has ever conducted. It's been a lot of work, but the results have also been gratifying. Over the past 18 months, we've watched modern SSDs easily write far more data than most consumers will ever need.

It looks like they ran the test for 18 months.
