> Current enterprise SSDs have something like a 10000 TBW rating

Running the numbers to verify: a read-write-mixed enterprise SSD will typically have 3 DWPD (drive writes per day), across it's 5 year warranty. At 2TB, that would be 10950 TBW, so that sort of checks out. If endurance was a concern, upgrading to a higher capacity would linearly increase the endurance. For example the Kioxia CD8P-V. https://americas.kioxia.com/en-us/business/ssd/data-center-s...

Finding it a bit hard to imagine build machines working that hard, but I could believe it!
