> Almost no matter the write amplification and access pattern, they won't wear out. A typical SLC drive will be able to handle 100,000 writes. Writing 1TB at 300MB/sec is about an hour. 100,000 hours is about 11 years, of writing data at pretty close to peak SATA capacity.
Quoting SLC endurance cycle numbers is disingenuous.
Try 3000/1000 cycles which are more realistic for consumer TLC/QLC drives and it suddenly becomes less impressive.
It'll become even less impressive when PLC/HLC cells are deployed in consumer space.
