The only definition I found was the number of writes during the warranty time, and you're talking about a use case involving a very low volume of writes (i.e., save a file, keep it up for eternity). This means that warranty time (more specifically, any failure mode at all beyond excess writes) is the most likely failure mode. Not writes, just the SSD being old. Samsung advertises between 3 years and 10 years of warranty. The typical warranty of HDDs is between 3 and 5 years. Doesn't this suggest that buying you a decent SSD buys you at worst the same reliability? https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/warranty/ https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/w...
