My Wear leveling count is already 70 and its will be 3yrs old in may, should I be wrorried?
According to that pic, the current wear value is 98 - which is fine but you should always back up SSDs because when they fail they usually do so without warning.

No you shouldn't be worried. You should have backup anyway and at the rate your drive is wearing you will have replaced it many times over (unless you plan on keeping it for 20 years).
I thought wear leveling was for mech drives, how does it work on a ssd?
*EDIT*
found it
How does wear leveling work?
Wear leveling works to distribute data evenly across
each memory block of the entire
Flash drive.
This process decreases the
total wear on the drive,
thereby increasing the lifetime of the drive.
