Anecdata, but SSDs will last longer than you want to use them in terms of write endurance.

My NAS OS SSDs are 500gb hynix drives from about 8 years ago, and they're pushing 150 TBW.

150TB is a LOT of write cycles on a small drive, and they're still reporting 94% endurance remaining.

The controller will die or I'll upgrade well before that breaks at the rate it's going.

Also keep in mind that you can read flash all you want and that doesn't wear anything (unlike a HDD, amusingly), so for most consumer use cases, they'll load the drive up with their data, and then only slowly modify or add to it, but have lots and lots of read access.

I hadn’t considered that, it makes all the sense of course, as a NAS, even when torrenting with cache enabled, will give an SSD less wear and tear than an HDD.

It comes down to price vs everything else
