Fair point, not quite sure about that. Just a comment that it was my OS drive and I always ran my favourite games from it so it got a fair bit of regular wear. I know there's definitely long term limits but I think as consumers we really shouldn't even be thinking about wear cycles and limits. Your case sounds unusual and I think you can mostly be safe in the assumption that the disk will last the life of the device.

I have been running a 250 gb samsung 840 EVO for like nearly 10 years. According to magician ithas 54.7 TB written to it so far and is still classed as 'Good'.

There's nothing to worry about, you'll never wear it to the point you need to be concerned. Not without trying very hard.
