What is the write / read of this SSD? I wonder if it’s better than Samsung’s T7 or T7 Shield.

    I would not really worry about this. You can wear out an SSD but it this is an issue a normal user pretty much never encounters.

    Consumer SSDs are a thing for over a decade now and I often check how much actual people use their drives as this is logged over SMART. Even rather dedicated users need about 1 decade to hit the TBW rating and this is just how much the manufacturer guarantees the drive can endure. In reality, you can expect at least 2x as much, even reports of 10x as much are nothing unheard of.

    It is far, far more likely you will lose, damage, replace it with something faster or bigger long beforehand. Unless you use it eg for a high end camera to record on a daily basis.

      So… 90 GB files re-written at least twice a week is fine for a 1TB/ 2TB SSD?
