Totally agree. A tech journalist did such test, and it took him 18 months of constant writing at the maximum throughput to kill the last of these 240 GB SSDs at the 2 petabyte mark.

The 240 GB SSD in my desktop is 1 and half years old, and the write count is only 400 GB. It will meet obsolescence due to the small size before it wears out.
