I wrote 135 TB on my SSD, it has been powered on for an entire year (owned for 2 years, so 50% on per year), has 17k errors, has been turned on/off nearly 3k times, spares are half gone. Wish this lasted longer though!

This is a 2TB Samsung 970 EVO SSD m.2 NVMe, which says it should last for 5 years with up to 600TB written but kinda falls short by 3 years and starts to fail within 150TB!
