What you say and the math does not agree. Do it 10x and in your scenario already 1TB is consumed of those "hundreds of TB of writes".

Most laptops don't have 128GB RAM, they're probably 16GB or 32GB.

Samsung warranties their 990 Pro SSD at 600TBW for 1TB, 1200TBW on 2TB, and 2400TBW on 4TB.

So, lets assume you've got a laptop with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. If you hibernate it 3x per day. After 10 years you'll have used 350TB of your writes.

(32GB * 3) * 365.25d * 10y = 350.64TB
