I bought a 15ILL9 which is a relatively new laptop, since it released in 2024. Well, the eBay refurbisher I bought it from (yes, eBay certified refurbished) sold me a 2022 Western Digital 2242 drive instead of the Micron drive. They have the same capacity, but the drive they sold me has 60 TB of writes and hundreds of power on hours. Here are the stats:

Would you care about this? See the line percentage_used : 3%. I can’t find any other information about the actual write cycles, but I know that TLC can’t sustain many write cycles (~3,000). I plan on getting Lenovo’s accident protection anyways with depot warranty (which is a question for a different /c/), so I think I may just ship it out when the warranty is ending and get a new drive.

    My SSD from 2009 still reports having most of its life left. I used it heavily for around a decade before retiring it as my system drive.

    You’ll be fine. A quality SSD is very unlikely to “wear out” from standard use.
