Read the above linked endurance test.
600+ TB total writes before some of them started to fail

My current Kingston 120GB boot drive has ~7TB total writes, in 2+ years.
I'll leave you to extrapolate the math on that lifespan.

Old consumer grade drives had limited lifespan and serious firmware issues.
That is no longer the case.
