Important distinction between chia drives used for plotting versus storage. The intensive write use is during plotting and would be on the smallest and fastest drives, in the 1-4TB range. Personal experience, I generated almost 400TB of plots and never had a drive go bad or experience any major performance issues. The massive storage arrays barely get touched, small reads only.
