  "textContent": "I purchased my first SSD in 2011, 15 years ago, an Intel 320 with 120GB. Of course it was a revelation in terms of performance. Once I learned how it worked and how bits stored per cell was related to endurance, like many here I became what I look back on now as being overly concerned with endurance.\n\nSo now here we are 15 years later and that old Intel drive, having \"gone through\" about 3 or 4 computers is still working, as is every SSD I've ever purchased except for one $80 after rebate PNY drive that got flaky, and I don't think it was an endurance issue because it had very few \"miles\" on it when it started acting up.\n\nI even have an QVO 870 Samsung I use as NAS back-up that runs daily that is 5 years old with no problems.\n\nAnyway for me endurance turned out to be a non-issue as the manufacturers told me it was.\n\nI'm curious as to other experiences here with long-term SSD use?",
