Does copying data to SSD from other disk count for the P/E cycles?

They say my SSD can read/write 150 terabytes or something?

It's a Samsung EVO860 250 GIGS.

I do a lot of copy and pasting, everyday for backups.

Now what counts for P/E

1. Copying from SSD to another disk?
2. Pasting from other disk to SSD?
3. Copy and pasting on same SSD?
4. Open and closing apps and running the machine on SSD?

I speculate that (1) doesn't count?

1. Copying from is only a read cycle, and does not matter.
2 & 3 are write cycles
4. Does not matter.

Don't stress over this 150TBW. My system is ALL SSD, 6 drives.
My current boot drive, a 500GB 850 EVO, current shows 18.7TBW, after 2 years of 24/7 use.

You'll not get even halfway close to that 150TBW in 5 years.

Conclusively, for everyday work, SSD to SSD is less than 10% faster than SSD to HDD, done numerous tests, there is a bottle neck from OS.

For very large files, yes, it's faster, but I use PC for work, not large movie files, so for my use case there is no benefit to waste SSD on storage.

So 2nd SSD is coming out of the desktop and will be put to use in another laptop ;)
