How heavily were you using the laptop? Did it fail from running out of write cycles or something else?

Some people over on xtremesystems have done Endurance testing, and the 64 GB m4 took over 700TB of writing to for failure to occur, and 172 TB to reduce the MWI to 0.

In a little over a year I have only written 4.1TB to my SSD in my desktop. Write cycles are very unlikely to run out for me before I replace the drive.

I don't have actual numbers, but it's my primary desktop at home, and it saw everyday use.
