But they do wear-levelling, so you can do cumulative writes measured in
tens of TB before they clap out, e.g. Intel were guaranteeing 20GB of
writes every day for 5 years on 80GB and 160GB drives

More recently sizes have gone up, but many non-enterprise drives have
switched from SLC to MLC, the total number of writes may be coming down,
but the product of size*endurance is still on the up ...
