  What are you trying to say here, that one can only expect what's warrantied? I expect nothing more than OEM support in that warranty... and that things generally continue to work outside of it. Techreport (and others, before we go down that path too) tested those along with many other drives. They were written to for more than a year and a half continuously. Sure, Samsung and others only agree to financially be on the hook for N bytes. The point is, the drive can handle it - and the situation doesn't make sense. Let's take a step back or two. We're focusing on numbers one would never even have the patience to reach while swapping

    Used drives can have life in another device or the whole device may be reused for a less taxing purpose ... if it hasn't been exhausted because of cost cutting.

      Sure, so hopefully the person before you bought a machine with sufficient memory ... and didn't walk away from it for days, if not weeks, while it was swapping. Ignore the numbers. The proposed problem is ridiculous.
