Consumer SSDs are typically rated for 0.1–0.5 drive writes per day, for a warranty period that's usually 5 years but sometimes just 3 years on low-end drives. So a single pass of sequential writes uses up somewhere between 2 and 10 days of warrantied write endurance, which is a more conservative measure than actual expected functional lifespan.
