For client/consumer SSDs, most vendors seem to view 50GB/day as plenty of write endurance for mainstream, non-enthusiast products. Virtually all retail consumer SSDs have a warranty that covers at least that much, and usually several times more for larger drive capacities (since write endurance is more often specified in drive writes per day).

Coincidentally 50GB/day is what Chrome craps out to the hard drive during few hours of usage, doing such clever things like "caching" YT videos (YT player NEVER reuses data, and rewinding always generates new server fetch with new randomly generated URL).
