Well, 300 TB over 5 years is 60 TB per year, or 165 GB per day. Every day. I’d say don’t worry. Besides: endurance tests showed that SSDs were able to withstand multiples of their guaranteed TBW until they actually failed (of course there are always exceptions to the rule). > I read about that bytes written.

If you use ext4, run `dumpe2fs -h /dev/your-root-partition | grep Lifetime` to see how much data has been written to that partition since you formatted it. Just to get an idea of what you are looking at on your setup. -- Grüße | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
