Modern ssds have stupid amount of write cycles. Everything else will crumble into dust before you deplete your ssd
My old 512GB 840 Pro from 2012 is sitting at 6% wear, has been through multiple builds and is now a scratch disk in my server for downloads / torrents.
My 850 Evo from 2014 is sitting at 2% wear, is now used for VM / Container image storage on my server.
These things are going to be with me for some time still.
