The relevant stat is the total data written specification. It's
usually in "terabytes written".
For a 1 TB SSD, 300TBW is bad. 600 is pretty bad. 1200 is okay
for a desktop. 1800 is reasonable for some server applications.
A Seagate Firecuda 520 specifies 1800.
An XPG Gammix specifies 740.
A Micron 9300 MAX is about 10,000.
