Man of Honour
Not sure how reliable it is, SSD life doesn't even detect my NVMe drives
Stick to tried and tested tools, CrystalDiskInfo.

I don't trust Samsung on 1500TBW+Yes get a drive like a 2TB Samsung 970 980 or 990 pro.
They have like 1500TBW+.
I don't trust Samsung on 1500TBW+
While there's no absolutee guarantee for any single individual SSD, TBW specification is measure of how much writes drive has been calculated to take for certain amount of wear/remaining life.Is there a sweet spot for NVME longevity and on the other end of that, what drives or technologies are the best to lookout for with my use case?
With its big transistors modern 3D TLC is equal to old planar MLC.But MLC NAND has far greater endurance than TLC or QLC.
Would have been actually usefull test, if they had bothered to power equipment down for say 10 days to two weeks to see that data still stayed on the drive without power...Way back in 2014 two drives reached 2PB so as long as the drives don't fail I'd expect them to exceed 1500TBW easily. Really need someone to test modern drives on this and see how long they make it these days.
Two SSDs survive after more than 2 petabytes of write tests
The Tech Report has been abusing six SSDs with constant write tests for more than a year. Two of them are still alive.www.pcgamer.com
