What's the state of SSD endurance right now?
I'm about to pull the trigger on this. I have a completely fanless system and the only noise I get is my ultra loud hard drive. It's also 10 years old which is why it is ridiculously slow.
I moved my 1TB of torrents to a external hard drive to use an old computer as a seedbox, and the 512GB will be used only for OS, browser, music player and light gaming™.
How long should I expect this to last? It's cheap, but I imagine file recovery should be harder than with a HDD.
inb4 not your personal tech support

Why wouldn't you put that cash towards a new machine instead? 10 years old would be a early c2d.
As for your question, as long as you don't defeat the thing daily(never do it at all) it should be 10+ years.

only the hard drive is 10 years old. otherwise, my system is less than a year old.

why not spend a quarter of that money on a regular SSD and not notice any difference

a regular ssd with the same storage will cost me the same money.

Endurance seems to be going down/staying flat over all.
But honestly speaking, you will likely upgrade the SSD before you wear it out.

6.8PB of writes on a Samsung 840 pro.
850 and 960 will last even longer.

If endurance is specifically something you need then instead of that TLC SSD in your image, get a MLC one.

Good luck with that OP

M.2 isn't going to provide much benefit over a normal SSD under those use cases. M.2 would probably die faster since from what I understand they all have heat issues.
