According to DriveDX my SSD has 130 TB written, and a health (lifetime left indicator) of 91% (9% used). However I've read that 256 GB SSDs have a TBW of 150 TB (at least that's the official number from Samsung), so shouldn't the health be much lower, over 80% used? Is DriveDX accurate? Or are the SSDs used actually that good? I try to conserve Ram, but still end up using roughly 50GB daily, probably due to swapping (I have the 8 GB model).

Someone in the forum made a long-term test and came to the conclusion that the actual lifespan is in the PB range (https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...d.2417822/page-12?post=33863049#post-33863049), I find these number almost too good to be true though.

Has anyone a similar experience? Has anyones Mac SSD failed? Would love to hear your experiences! Thanks!
