I have samsung 850 250gb and i have it for 8 or 7 days now but samsung tool states that I have written 0.32 TB !!!! Is too much? What is the number of TB written before ssd fails?? I installed windows 10 on it btw

2 things that can write a lot to SSD are hibernation and pagefile.sys. As long as you have hibernate (ultra sleep) turned off (it's for laptop use, not desktop anyways) and have pagefile directed to hdd not the SSD, you're good for years, easily longer than the average lifespan of a normal hdd.

That drive has a maximum life of around ~75TB written to it. At your pace you're looking at around a 4.5 year life span. Though the first week of any drive's life is usually brutal because you're constantly downloading and writing all your stuff to it.
