Extremely dense QLC chips. Still it's 2700-3000MByte, ie ~3GByte/second.

What should worry way more is DWPD which is abysmal... on the first glance. But if you punch it in the calc it still would take ages to wear it out.

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

now, nobody cares. I have over 500 NVMe drives in our deployment and the drive deaths are not due to wear.

then either your drives are overprovisioned or read-mostly.
it's not that hard to hit 300 cycles on flash.
