Hi David,
In normal desktop/laptop use, you rarely write more than 1-2GB a day on average -- so that would translate into a 190-95 year wear-life for the drive under normal use. Even at 10GB a day, that would be a 19 year life for the drive.
The SSD drive also reports its own personal view of lifetime remaining and other interesting statistics using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T%2E. 173 Ave_Block-Erase_Count -O--CK 095 095 000 - 77 202 Percent_Lifetime_Remain ----CK 095 095 001 - 5 `smartctl -x /dev/sda', for example, can gather the data. -- Cheers, Ralph.
