Interestingly the  #Samsung  830 #ssd  in my cloud node hit a write cycle count of 50 today, and with its 25ns flash that's 1% down 99% to go. The 830 gives a fair few stats actually, so the SSD has been powered on for 2500 hours and has written 2.679Tb which makes an average of about 1.1Gb/hour or 26.26Gb/day. The only concern I've ever had with this SSD is a UDMA CRC error count of 23925, but when I replaced the SATA cable it seems to have stopped increasing so it's all good.
