I don't know if anyone has been following this experiment, but after
200TB of writes, even the weakest SSD (Samsung 840, which is what I
have) is still going strong.
From my read, none us us have much to worry about. Good. Especially for
us noobs that have yet dabbled!

Pardon,

scenarios, the SSD will be obsolete years, or even decades, before the NAND

I wonder what's the rating for the magnetic media. It may be expressed
in different terms, but if it could be compared, people would be shocked
how 'low' it was. Although the media may be rated to outlast the
mechanicals.

I don't know of any media-level lifespan. Magnetic media does have a data
retention rating (i.e., how long will it retain retrievable data on the
shelf), but so does NAND. However, the read/write endurance of hard media is
certainly greater than the mechanicals that support it.
