I think this is less and less true as time goes on. I have a laptop from 5 ish years ago I still use and it's actually pretty fast.

And, even so, it's not like the ONLY wear on your SSD is the hibernation. So this 5 year figure, I'm not sure it's right. I think, maybe if you're someone who stresses your hard drives a lot (maybe you work with photography or videography?) hibernation might make an impactful difference.

[redundantly]

The five-year estimate is based solely on hibernation writes, which is a very conservative figure. In reality, most users will use closer to 2% of the TBW for hibernation, not 33%.

For those with heavy I/O workloads, they likely have higher-grade or larger SSDs with a higher TBW rating.

Additionally, TBW isn’t a hard limit and can often be exceeded, with some drives lasting beyond 200%.

For most users, TBW won’t be an issue, and other components are more likely to fail before the drive wears out.
