I can't remember ever having an issue with any ssd I have used. My
laptop which currently has a Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2 1TB
Power_On_Hours = 11845
Sam, I didn't think to ask my oldest ssd, but
9 Power_On_Hours 23372
However:
SMART Error Log not supported
SMART Self-test Log not supported
Device does not support Selective Self Tests/Loggin
So I guess its not going to enlighten me about much else.
OTOH it boots and runs lcnc about 2 or 3x faster than it ever did with
spinning rust on the end of that cable. Prolonging the life of that old
old dell dimension.
I think all of our linuxcnc installed are on ssd's also.

Be aware that M.2 is a socket spec that includes both SATA and NVMe
type devices.

Added to that, Apple began using PCIe drives before the NVMe
standard was established, so there’s another socket to be confused
about if you run Mac.
Fast forward to the year 2020... Today we don't use SSDs that are
made
to
look like HDD and are put inside of a box with a SATA interface.
That
hack
was a transitional technique for retrofitting SSD into older
computers. The box is mostly filled with air and the SATA
interface is dead-dog-slow compared to PCIe. A modern SSD comes
on an M2 size card and plugs
directly
into the PCIe bus and does not even try to pretend it is a SATA
Hard
Drive.
If you are buying new storage you want a PCIe interface M.2 forms
factor SSD.
