The relevant stat is the total data written specification. It's usually in "terabytes written". For a 1 TB SSD, 300TBW is bad. 600 is pretty bad. 1200 is okay for a desktop. 1800 is reasonable for some server applications. A Seagate Firecuda 520 specifies 1800. An XPG Gammix specifies 740. A Micron 9300 MAX is about 10,000. -dsr-
