DWPD was the boogey man 10 years ago. everybody worried about it.

This is high quality anecdata. What is the root cause of most of your drive deaths?

then either your drives are overprovisioned or read-mostly.

it's not that hard to hit 300 cycles on flash.

it's all 4TB or larger plus the drives do wear leveling internally.
